LATEST NEWSLETTER OF HISTORY WRITER DOUG LIMBRICK

My latest Newsletter, Number 2 for 2025, is now out to those on my email list. It includes discussion about early exploration on the west coast of Western Australia, particularly the Dutch ships (including Dirk Hartog in 1616), the impact of the discovery of gold in the colony of Victoria in 1851 and the wonderful ship S.S. Great Britain, which transported an estimated 20,000 emigrants to the Australian colonies in the nineteenth century. If you are not on the mailing list and would like to receive a copy of my newsletter each quarter then send me a message on info@douglimbrick.com.
