Join us to celebrate the launch of Lucy Sussex and Megan Brown's Outrageous Fortunes: The Adventures of Mary Fortune, Crime-writer, and Her Criminal Son George.

When Mary Fortune arrived in Melbourne with her infant son in 1855, she was determined to reinvent herself. The Victorian goldfields were just the place. After a time selling sly-grog and a bigamous marriage to a policeman, Mary became a pioneering journalist and author.
