Some convicts found exile from their home country unbearable, and would try every escape route to make their way back.

Episode 48 begins retelling the story of one such convict - a man who stole away & reinvented himself time & again.

Newly discovered diary records landmark sighting of Australia in 1687 - The Age

"I was one of the first [to see it] … as we walked on the poop. At first sight, we thought that it was some ships but as we sailed on … in a short time we saw … there’s land."

@caity Yep, the mighty Snowy Mtns. 😍 Interesting to see the regrowth from 2019-20 & loved checking out all the Hydro places I'd talked about a couple of years back. Stunning country. Got some nice walks in too.
