In 1796, the Calcutta merchants Campbell & Clark, sent a boat load of attractive goods, including much needed home and personal wares, and much desired rum, to sell to the isolated people in the new penal colony at Port Jackson (now current day Sydney).
The Sydney Cove foundered and the men were obliged to take refuge on Preservation Island. Some of the crew continued on, in a longboat & on foot, to raise the alarm & affect a rescue. This month we retell the story of their epic journey.

This was the first episode of your podcast I listened to and I enjoyed it tremendously. I run a podcast called Stray Dog Footy: An American Podcast on Australian Rules Football and I became rather fascinated by Australian history while doing research on Tom Wills for an episode. Let me assure you I am impressed by the amount of hard work that has to go into your episodes and let me just say, thank you and please keep it up! Good on ya!
