WELCOME TO ALL WHO LOVE SHIPWRECK AND CASTAWAY DRAMA

As Author of the Book "Wildflower" The Barbara Crawford Thompson Story, I would like to welcome all who love true life drama from the historic past.

Barbara Crawford was almost 12 years old when she left her home in March 1843, to work as a domestic servant near the harsh Brisbane Penal Colony at Moreton Bay.

Unknown to her, the man who hired her, wanted her as a domestic of a different kind and soon she was living the life of a housewife.

For almost two years she was hidden away in bushland until financial greed got the better of her man and she was taken away to sea in an attempt to salvage whale oil from the wreck of a whaling ship.

The little cutter they sailed in was wrecked near the tip of Cape York Australia and Barbara was destined to live among a tribe of cannibalistic headhunters for the next five traumatic years.

Barbara Crawford became Gioma, a girl of the Kaurarega tribe of Murralagh Island. When found by Captain Owen Stanley and the officers and men of the British Survey ship, HMS "Rattlesnake" in October 1849, Barbara was almost totally tribalized and had been taken as wife by one of the warriors of the tribe.

Read all about this amazing girl and her even more amazingly dramatic life in the book "Wildflower" The Barbara Crawford Thompson Story. Order now from the Author direct. Delivery is 8 days from Australia to the UK or Europe and postage is free.

The cost per paperback copy [250 pages in 10 point font] is $39.95 Australian and can be paid via Pay Pal.

The Author would also like to announce that the final revised edition will have a special limited edition in hardcover [with dust jacket] priced at $69.95, all books are signed by the Author, plastic wrapped and delivered direct to you in a folded Manilla envelope.

"Wildflower" The Barbara Crawford Thompson Story

The Barbara Crawford Thompson Story had long been puzzled over until in 1987, when the Author of the above named book began his research into her very strange "History Mystery". Twenty three years later with his work complete, Raymond J Warren of Brisbane in Queensland, can finally sit back and take a well earned rest. Barbara Crawford Thompson's story can now be told in its entirety.

So much new material has been added to her tale of survival that it has changed its whole context. The original reports were something that have been followed religiously by writers for 160 years. But now, Barbara Crawford and her family may finally have their day in the sun and Barbara should at last get the historic recognition that she so justly deserves. Perhaps now, the Australian history machine may place a headstone on her grave, a plaque at Cape York and perhaps also on Prince of Wales Island so that her service to the intelligence of the Cape York and Torres Strait region can be honored.

For anyone wishing to purchase the above named book, please deal direct with the Author by email on ray.j.warren@hotmail.com. Delivery to the UK is approximately 8 days and each copy will be personally signed upon request.
