Episode 30: 1846 Shipwreck Survivors Account - James Morrill, Part 1 of 2

Episode 30: 1846 Shipwreck Survivors Account - James Morrill, Part 1 of 2

Shipwreck survivor James Morrill washed up on the Far North QLD coast in 1846, living with Aboriginal people for 17 years before re-assimilating into European society.

In this episode I read out James' book about his experience, published in 1864, and compare it to my own in 2021, where I tried to escape his predicament in a homemade dugout canoe.


Listen to Modern-Day Castaway, my self-read audiobook about my journey up the Great Barrier Reef in a dugout canoe to escape James predicament.
