Abstract
The story of Australia's Jewish settlers, from the First Fleet to the gold rushes of the 1850s, is filled with characters - like the convict who became Australia's "first lady" - and adventure. By chronicling the individuals, the Jewish struggle for political and religious tolerance is described.
