description: Alexander Pearce escaped from the horrific penal colony in Macquarie Harbour on the isolated West Coast of Tasmania in 1822, along with seven other men. The only way back to civilization was across a series of high and rugged mountain ranges covered with almost impenetrable forest, and deep and steep river gorges. There were no edible plants and no game they could hunt. Only Pearce survived - because his meals walked beside him.
