Description

Brothers in Exile is the story of John Exile (White), who at age 16 was convicted of horse stealing in Buckinghamshire, England in 1812. After one of his brothers was hanged, John and the remaining two brothers were transported to Australia in 1813 accompanied by a retired sea Captain and a Reverend on a mission to New Zealand. The story follows the real-life adventures of the White brothers and their contemporaries from the early days of the Macquarie penal Colony throughout the nineteenth century. While John Exile was assigned as a convict servant to Captain William Hovell, he escaped to India, while his brother James White was sent to Windsor and the eldest brother, Thomas was transported to Van Diemen's Land.The adventures of the brothers finally come together in a place discovered by James White called Burrangong, where the story is taken up by John Exile's daughter Sarah with her Uncle James, the founder of the NSW town of Young. Three more brothers in exile from Ireland arrive in the area and Sarah's husband discovers gold on the property. The saga further unfolds with tales of explorers, squatters, aborigines, droughts, floods, race riots and bushrangers. Migrants like James Struthers risk their fortune and replace convicts in the latter part of the nineteenth century and Sarah lives to tell the tale of this important piece of Australian pioneering history - until the age of 104.
