In 1789, the fledgling British penal settlement in Sydney was crippled by disease, hunger and depravity. But help would come from a most unlikely quarter. Three women uncover the rags-to-respectability tale of their ancestors - the feisty convicts on board The Lady Juliana who became the unlikely founding mothers of modern Australia. The Floating Brothel screens on ABC TV on Thursday 23 November at 8.30pm.
