Paradise Mislaid: In Search of the Australian Tribe of Paraguay

This is a compelling blend of travel writing, history and personal journey in search of the legendary band of Australians who in the 1890's set sail from Sydney to found a socialist utopia in the jungles of South America.

Whitehead takes the reader into present day Paraguay to meet the remaining descendants but first she lays out the cataclysmic events which overtook their colony.
