In May 1787, Bryant was sent as a prisoner with the First Fleet aboard the ship Charlotte. Bryant gave birth on the journey to a baby, whom she called Charlotte Spence Broad. When she arrived in Australia, she married William Bryant on 10 February 1788. In early New South Wales, William was considered useful, and was put in charge of fishing. When he was caught selling fish on the side, he was given 100 lashes. Bryant’s transportation order expired in March 1791.

He made a plan to escape with others by boat. Initially they kept close to the coast, and stopped to replenish their supplies of water and food as they travelled North. Their planned route involved navigating the then uncharted Great Barrier Reef and the Torres Straits. Timor was then under the control of the Dutch. The Bryants’ party claimed to be shipwreck survivors. They were later discovered and imprisoned by the Dutch governor, then handed over to Captain Edward Edwards of HMS Pandora, which had been wrecked.
Mary Bryant, Allen, Broom alias John Butcher, Lillie, and Martin arrived back in England on 18 June 1792. The punishment for escaping from transportation was generally death, but following court hearings in London, they were all ordered to ‘remain on their former sentence, until they should be discharged by course of law’. The Bryant party’s escape was the subject of a ten episode serial, written by Rex Rienits, broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Commission during 1963. Mary Bryant was portrayed by Fay Kelton.
