In this episode of Figures of Note, we uncover the remarkable life of Mary Reibey — an English convict who transformed exile into opportunity. Transported to Sydney as a teenage girl for a daring act of rebellion, she rose to become one of Australia’s most successful businesswomen and a symbol of resilience in a young colony. Discover how this determined woman of faith, intellect, and enterprise helped shape early Australian society — and earned her place on the nation’s twenty-dollar note.
