Circles of Fortune is a novel about about the adventurous life of Dr Thomas Braidwood Wilson, who made nine voyages to Australia on convict ships and was shipwrecked twice. In 1829 he explored the south west corner of Western Australia, naming Mount Barker and Denmark and many other places. Wilsons Inlet, on which the town of Denmark is situated, is named after him, as is Wilson's grevillea, a local plant.

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. This remarkable man is still revered in the New South Wales town that bears his name: Braidwood.
