Abstract:
In 1778, Royal Navy Lieutenant William Dawes sails to Australia with dreams of establishing a utopian society where the convict settlers on his ship and the Aborigines will learn from each other and live in harmony. Alas, it does not work. The story is recounted two centuries later by a history professor.
