‘What a life! What a story! Superbly researched and wonderfully crafted …’ - Peter FitzSimons
'Writer, journalist, barrister, larrikin'
Who was the first Australian novelist?
John Lang, born in a Parramatta pub in 1816 with the convict ‘stain’ upon him, was a singular character. The first native-born person to have a novel published, he was also a newspaperman, a classical scholar and translator, barrister, celebrity, jailbird … enigma. He was hugely energetic, capable and original, but he also had his demons.
A larrikin polymath who refused to be bound by convention, Lang didn’t just want his allotted portion – he wanted all of it. He got a lot of it, too, but not the chalice of immortality.
Lang was a serial pioneer. In literature, he also wrote the first ‘detective novel’ in English, the first convict-system satire, the first Indian travelogue by an Australian, and he created the template for the bush novel. In journalism, he was the first Australian to launch and run a newspaper overseas. And in law, he was the only barrister to ever defeat the mighty East India Company in an Indian courtroom.
So why have we never heard of him?
This long-overdue biography explores answers to this revealing question as it tracks Lang’s rise from those humble beginnings to fortune and fleeting fame. Author Sean Doyle tells the riveting story of Lang’s remarkable life and times across three continents in the age of Empire, when the modern world was young …

They do work but they taste terrible!
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Melatonin 5mg
I got these for my special needs son after his doctor recommend trying melatonin to help with some sleep disturbances. They definitely help him go to bed calmly and even stay in bed through the night but I have to bribe him to get him to take them because the taste is so bad!

Excellent Product!
Added this to my evening Magnesium Glycinate about 2 or 3 weeks ago. My difficulty getting a full nights sleep gradually started to improve. I am now averaging 7 or more hours straight, up from 2.5 - 3hrs. Waking feeling refreshed and more alert, not tired and groggy now. No more mid morning slump. Just keeps getting better... it's not instant but, continues to improve. These improvements alone are well worth the cost.
Also, seems to have added an extra kick to the other reason I take Magnesium... my hip pain and lack of flexibility has also improved. Almost no pain now and flexibility has gone from zero to at least 50% now. I can bend at the hip now and look forward to being able to put on socks, tie shoe laces, scrub feet and trim toenails without assistance!
I have always been physically active until the years of unconsciously favoring my left leg after breaking my right leg in several places ...twice when I was younger began to take a toll on my flexibility. Starting gradually in my mid sixties until now at 68, the list of immobility problems had become very annoying. So, this improvement is is most exciting!
My thanks to Teraputics Pure Life for making an excellent product!

Great Product
I purchased "Magnesium L Threonate, Magtein™, Brain Supplement for Memory, Focus, Sleep and Cognitive Support". I added this to my evening regimen and my difficulty getting a full nights sleep gradually started to improve. I am waking up feeling refreshed now. No more mid morning slump. These improvements alone are well worth the cost.
This improvement is is most exciting! My thanks to Teraputics Pure Life for making an excellent product!

It Put Me On An Even Plane.
After 2 months of using this supplement my sleep has improved immensely. I wake up refreshed and recharged Jitters have subsided. And bathroom trips are on a schedule.
