Visions of the Antipodes 3

(tt)  I went to see my agent in Wooloomooloo and after farewelling them all I passed this terrace on Cathedral St. The window displayed images of the first fleet ships and a manifest of all crew and convicts

Sheldon is a direct descendant of one of the convicts that sailed on "The Alexander"  A Richard Morgan who later settled on Norfolk Island. Sheldy's auntie Helen owns his land there.

And look!  Mayhap one of my forbears was cast aside as human garbage on that very same ship.  I too could possibly be traced back to fetid dross.... done for nicking or other naughty pursuits
