Description:William Wall was a 17-year-old groomsman, an outdoors man-of-action with a wild temperament. Would this head-strong youth follow his father's lace-weaving trade, tethered to the click-clack of a loom in the dark, damp confines of a Norfolk cottage? Or was he destined for a different life? This Australian story traces William 'Cocky' Wall's journey in two parts.Part One: The Convict focusses on a young man transported to Van Diemen's Land to serve out his sentence as an assigned servant. Twice married, fathering 19 children, and with significant support from his two wives, Mary Long, and Eliza Clarke, William became a farmer, publican, and innkeeper, who played his part as an early pioneer in Central Victoria and Warrnambool.Part Two: The Currency spanning 117 years explores the lives of 13 surviving children and their descendants. The Currency refers to the first generation born in the colonies; the Walls, born to their free-settler mothers and ex-convict father.
