Convict Tales

 I was in Drysdale this morning posting off a birthday present and doing a few other bits.  I am short on reading material of late, still waiting for a secondhand delivery.  However there are plenty of secondhand outlets right here. I got two books for a $1 each.  The first one is a book of Australian short stories. The first of which is about a convict gang in the depths of Western Tassie.  Now I have travelled in the exact localities this story describes and they sound very accurate to me and even though parts of the story are true, it is a fiction that fits well with the geography.
