The story of a remarkable pioneer who discovered in the strange colonial
wilderness the splendour and richness of Australia's unique flora. In 1829
Georgiana Molloy moved from the middle-class comfort of the English border
country to an isolated wilderness on the opposite side of the world. The young
bride and her husband, Captain John Molloy, were among a small party that
founded the settlement of Augusta on Western Australia's south-west coast. A
pioneer of great courage and capacity, Georgiana was presented with seemingly
overwhelming trials and hardships. But she was a woman who was never defeated by
circumstance, and never ceased to find enjoyment and satisfaction in her life.
One of her enduring legacies is her study and identification of much of the
unique local flora. A vivid portrait of an extraordinary woman.
