This will be a historical novel based on the life of naval surgeon and explorer Thomas Braidwood Wilson, who in the early 1800's travelled to the south coast of Western Australia. Wilsons Inlet, next to the town of Denmark, is named after him.

He travelled to Australia on convict ships nine times, was shipwrecked twice, he successfully transported the first hive of European bees to Australia, and studied the local flora, giving his name to Wilson's grevillea. He is also remembered for his humane attitude to the convicts, teaching them to read and write and improving the living conditions on board ship.
