ISBN 0949586285 ***Fawkner was a boy when he arrived at the Derwent with David Collins' settlement party. His previously unpublished memoir was written late in his life, following a visit to Hobart to talk to the few remaining survivors of those early days. Based on memory (his own and others') and hearsay, it contains some errors of fact; nonetheless it is valuable record, written from the perspective of the free settler, and containing much information not found elsewhere.
