The journal of Annie Dawbin opens in September 1834 when its author, then a 17-year-old bride, is voyaging to Australia with her new husband, Lieutenant Andrew Baxter. Over the course of her life - during which she had two marriages; worked on the land; voyaged to and from Australia several times; and raised her brother's children after the death of his wife - Dawbin filled no less than 32 journals. Her complete diaries were edited by Lucy Frost and published in 1997.
