Dispatched Down Under by Ron Withington is a hardcover slice of Australiana that traces the author’s personal quest across convict graves, colonial headstones and forgotten burial grounds of New South Wales. Part memoir, part local-history reference, this 2013 release from the Fellowship of First Fleeters appeals to genealogists, teachers and anyone curious about early European settlement.

Withington blends on-the-road anecdotes with meticulous cemetery surveys, mapping the lives that shaped colonial Australia. The narrative moves from Sydney’s fringe to rural graveyards, revealing stories of convicts, soldiers and free settlers whose names still echo in today’s landscapes.

Clean, tight pages and only light cover scuffing make this copy feel almost new, ready for immediate shelf pride or research duty. It comes from a smoke-free home and shows no markings, ex-library stamps or inscriptions—ideal for collectors of Australian historical non-fiction.

Whether you’re piecing together family lines or simply love well-researched true stories, Dispatched Down Under delivers a tangible link to the nation’s earliest footsteps.
