Saviour of the fleet
from In Black and White Hosted by Herald Sun
When nearly 800 malnourished convicts set off for Botany Bay on the First Fleet, no-one expected them all to survive. But thanks to the heroic efforts of head physician John White, the prisoners had a better hope of survival than they would have if they stayed at home. Jim Haynes returns to the show to tell the tale.
