About this book:

Did you know the term 'roughing it' comes from the tent city at Algoa Bay? Or that one 1820 settler called her new home 'the most miserable country in the world'? This is the tale of the settlers' dramatic first three years in their own words - their letters, journals and diaries that tell of the dangerous sea voyage and setting up of farms in a difficult environment. An engaging read with a delightful narrative touch.
