AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The destiny of my life was cast on seeing for the first time an 'Apollo' in the handsome Captain Cowin of the 73rd Regiment. Even at this long period I blush to make this romantic confession, nevertheless the age of 12 may offer an excuse. (from the memoir of Harriet Dowling)

'Capricious and captivating, Lady Dowling came to Australia in 1806 as the eldest child of John Blaxland, gentleman settler, Her tales of early colonial times in New South Wales and India are filled with romance, riches and just a few regrets.'
