The Floating Brothel

Three modern day women trace their ancestors and uncover the rags-to-respectability tale of three feisty convict women who bucked the system and became the unlikely founding mothers of modern Australia. Timewatch follows this extraordinary story which starts with The Lady Juliana, the all-female transport ship sent out to Australia, and its cargo of whores, thieves and canny con artists who saved a dying colony and redeemed themselves.
