A child stands on her back step at dusk and surveys her backyard. The backyard is teeming with life - birds, possum, native rat, bats, insects and bugs.'

'Based on the true story of a quilt made by convict women on board the Rajah, bound for Australia.

'Lizzie Flynn has nothing but her name when she boards the Rajah, which is bound for the penal colony of Australia.

The women were taught to sew and together they made the Rajah quilt which is currently housed in the National Library.' (Publication summary)
