Want a ‘fly on the wall’ experience of the settlers to Hobart? (Hay family)

It’s a lengthy and comprehensive site that does mention our Robert’s unruly start.  Details of the other settler families who were instrumental in setting up what would become Hobart and New Norfolk.  Normally I put this sort of link in the bibliography but it’s just such a great resource, thought I’d give it front page treatment.  Enjoy.
