"David Bellamy is afraid. He fears the strange new land of New South Wales, its inhabitants and its wild creatures. He fears his relatives who have taken him in and the Governor himself; the swearing, cursing Governor Bligh. And then on Anniversary Day 26th January, 1808, David and his new friends Kitty and Ralph are on the streets of Sydney Town when the military march on Government House..."
