Storyline

On a stormy night of August 1857, the Dunbar finally reaches the shores of Sydney after 81 days at sea. 

Departed from Plymouth (England), this three-masted sailing ship was on it's second journey to Australia, under the commands of Captain James Green. On the ship were 63 passengers, 59 crew and a substantial cargo.

Your name is James Johnson, a 20 years old crewman, performing your last duties on The Dunbar. Little did you know that your life was about to change forever...

A wonderful walk with fantastic seaside views, and your story of our shipwreck survivor is a wonderful accompaniment to tie it all together. I'd walk it again.
