  • "The colony transports a group of English, Irish and Australians (both indigenous and European) back in time to the Australia of their ancestors. Living the life of free settlers, convicts and local Aboriginal people, they'll experience the unforgiving toughness of the colony of NSW as it was two hundred years ago."
  • "In this history project, four modern-day families discard the trappings of 21st century life to undertake the challenges of reliving life as settlers of the Australian colony of 1800 for 4 months in an isolated valley. The historical colony was a world of diverse culture, class and raw power. Accordingly, the families have been chosen to match the social fabric of the early 1800s. They include an English family from Yorkshire; an Irish family from Dublin; an Australian family from Tasmania; and an aboriginal clan from the N.E. coast of Australia. As in history, the European families have been allocated basic government supplies and convict servants. They must supplement all other needs, and face hardship, history and each other, whilst the aboriginal clan must fend for themselves, in their own way. The families begin their adventure with different hopes and dreams. It will be known only towards the end how well the families and their convicts fare on the frontier."@en
