Description |
Born on Tasmania's Flinders Island in 1835, adopted into the household of Governor Sir John and Lady Franklin, sent to the Queen's Orphan School and ultimately abandoned with her people at Oyster Cove, Mathinna's story is one of vulnerability and loneliness in an era of confusion and intolerance. |
