About the Author
Jane Crowley, born Jane Dumphrey in Northern Ireland, entered the rag and bone trade young to help her feckless father. Jane was found guilty of stealing a carved ostrich egg and transported to Australia on the Surrey 1 with 27 other female convicts, arriving 13 July 1840. The ship’s captain sent her to work for his cousin in Gundagai, and when the young orphan arrived on his doorstep she was caked in so much mud from her 240 mile journey he immediately christened her “Dirty Jane”.
