Elizabeth Henrietta Macquarie was the Scottish-born second wife of Governor Lachlan Macquarie, who served the colony of New South Wales between 1810 and 1821. Their indomitable partnership survived personal loss and public scrutiny to shape the face of Australia. This book explores - with explanations, annotations and transcriptions of Elizabeth's surviving letters and her illuminating journal of her voyage from London to Sydney - how this remarkable woman forged a life that spanned the globe and transformed a colony.
