Meet Harriet and celebrate her unforgettable story.

In this exciting and informative account, bestselling and award-winning author Anthony Hill recreates the life of Harriet from her earliest years and delves into the unsolved mystery of how she came to Australia.


Wouldn't you like to know.That's my story. And she pulls her head in again.
