A biography of Errol Flynn written by Patricia O'Brien and published in 2026. Flynn was born in Hobart in 1909 and grew up in Tasmania before heading to New Guinea and eventually to Hollywood, where he became one of the biggest stars of the 1930s and 1940s — known for swashbuckling roles in films like Captain Blood, The Adventures of Robin Hood and The Sea Hawk, and for a personal life that generated as much attention as his films.
British sealer John Scott arrived in Bass Strait in 1806 and had children with at least three Tasmanian Aboriginal women, fathering at least nine children before drowning off King Island in 1843. Scottish-born David Howie, appointed Constable of the Straits, patrolled Bass Strait and King Island; in 1845 he played a key role in the aftermath of the Cataraqui disaster. This book traces the lives and Tasmanian Aboriginal descendants of both men, drawing together family trees, John Scott's own diary, and the wider Bass Strait sealing community of the 19th century.
