Edited by Richard Davis and published in 1995 as a limited first edition of 500 numbered copies.

Eight-year-old chimney sweep Tom Appleby is convicted of stealing and sentenced to transportation — sailing with the First Fleet to Botany Bay to start a new life in a country the English barely understand and the Aboriginal people know intimately. Jackie French's novel gives children a personal, human entry point into Australian convict history.
Henry Reynolds and Nicholas Clements retrieve one of Australia's greatest war heroes from historical obscurity. During Tasmania's Black War of 1823–31, Tongerlongeter led the most effective Aboriginal resistance campaign in Australian history.

Ross Ewing's account of the Douglas A-4K Skyhawk — the jet fighter that served as the backbone of the Royal New Zealand Air Force's air combat force for over 30 years, from its introduction in the late 1960s until the abrupt disbandment of the RNZAF air combat force by the New Zealand government in 2001. Ewing was one of the first RNZAF pilots trained on the A-4K, sent to the United States to train with the US Navy before the Skyhawks arrived in New Zealand.
