Cindy, Pam Hoffard and I did a series called Adventures Down Under by Robert Elmer. I don't know if this is what you were referring to. There were 8 books in this series. Basically is about a man who is framed for a crime where he works and sent to a penal colony in Australia. His family followed after him and the family moved up and down a river on a paddlewheel boat. They are great books, even if it is not what you are looking for. - Doug From: Cindy <popularplace@xxxxxxxxx> To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tue, August 7, 2012 10:54:25 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Australian historical fiction Several years ago there were, on the Wish List (or was it the Being-scanned list) a series of historical fiction about the settling of Australia. I'm not sure the books were readily available in the U.S. Does anyone remember anything about them? I didn't see anything in the collection that looked familiar. If anyone can find them andd scan them I'm sure a lot of us, myself defin itely included, would like to proof them. Cindy
