The Front Page of Australia's first Newspaper published Oct 1788

Another one for my collection now I have to decide as they grow up which of my grandchildren will get this priceless piece.I did have it carbon dated when I purchased about 27 years ago and paper can be dated between 100-500 year so it may be a reprint from the first 100 Centennial in Australia or it maybe the original from 1788 we will never know.
The back page lists all the prisoners bought on the first convict ship with there crime and there term...I wonder if your family name is amongst them.
