Download or read book Journal of a Voyage to Australia written by John Elliot Koulaouzos and published by Australian Self Publishing Group. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Journal of a Voyage to Australia In 1855, my great, great grandfather, Henry Morrison began writing a detailed account of his voyage to Australia. This diary would encompass far more than just his personal observation of the long and arduous sea voyage from Sunderland, England via the Cape of Good Hope, the treacherous waters of the Indian Ocean and the numerous on board deaths and injuries before landing in Melbourne. Henry spent a further 2 years exploring and gold mining in the Victorian countryside around Castlemaine with his good friend George. They endured extreme hard work digging in the blazing heat of summer, frigid cold winters and succumbing to recurring sickness whilst living in a small, canvas tent with limited rations. In 1857, after Henry had had some meagre fortunes on the goldfields, he began the long sea journey back again to England from Melbourne. The diary concluding as he nears the South East coast of England. With the help of a previously unknown cousin researching family history in New Zealand, I discovered that Henry Morrison eventually married and immigrated to Napier, New Zealand around 1858. He unfortunately was killed in 1866 during the battle of Omarunui, NZ. The precious journal itself would eventually be bought to Australia by his migrating son John Elliott Morrison, then handed down to his son (my grandfather) and eventually lost for many years at the bottom of a junk pile of magazines at my uncles’ house, in Bexley Australia, before being rediscovered by myself a few years back.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes and Gleanings: Being Leaves From the Diary of a Voyage to and From Australia and New Zealand, in 1893 In preparing for printing these extracts from my Diary, I have selected only what I think may be of interest to my personal friends, for whom this little volume is intended. The names of many of our friends with whom we spent pleasant days and evenings have been omitted, because, although we shall always remember them with the kindliest feelings, their names could not be of interest to most of our friends at home. I have noted only the subjects and objects which interested us from day to day, and some leading particulars regarding the Colonies in which we spent a delightful holiday.

  • ISBN : 9781502777072
  • Pages : 94 pages

Download or read book Diary and Narrative written by William J. Mayes and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1882 William J Mayes embarked on a voyage to Australia aboard the ship the Alexander Duthie. William was afflicted with TB and wanted to find a better climate for his illness, which at this time, had no cure. The diary is a day by day account of the boredom, tedium and dangers that many passengers endured on a three month voyage aboard a 'tall ship'. This is a social history; enlightening to those whose ancestors also made a similar voyage. William was from a working class background, yet his jottings show he was well educated and well rounded in many things; sport, cards, religion, music. He made friends easily with those in first class and amongst the crew. The diary was given to me by my grandmother. I was captivated and it sent me on a long path to find out about my family history. Anyone with ancestors who emigrated to Australia or America in the 19th century should read this and see what difficulties they endured to make a better life for themselves.
