John Currey, Sullivan Bay: How convicts came to Port Phillip and Van Dieman's Land

The title of John Currey's book clearly indicates its contents. The book, in five parts and thirty chapters, details the British government's reasons for appointing David Collins, a serving officer of the marines and son of a soldier, as lieutenant-governor at Sullivan Bay Port Phillip, his actions there and his subsequent relocation to Hobart Town in 1804.
