Its location [...] marooned in a large harbour surrounded by the impenetrable wild lands of the western half of Van Diemen's Land, an uncharted country depicted on maps of the day only as a baleful blankness colonial cartographers termed Transylvania.
Novel, Fiction.

Navigation is dangerous, and the entrance to the 'Hell's Gates' of Macquarie Harbour-at the time of which we are writing (1833), in the height of its ill-fame as a convict settlement-is only to be attempted in calm weather. The sea-line is marked with wrecks. The sunken rocks are dismally named afer the vessels they have destroyed.
Novel, Fiction.
Clarke, Marcus. For the Term of His Natural Life. Floating Press, 2014 [1874], p. 91.
