Bound for South Australia 1836

Between February and July 1836 nine ships left Britain bound for the newly created province of South Australia. 

175 years later historical sources have been brought together to tell compelling stories of weather and position recorded in captains’ logs and lively descriptions of people and events in private letters and diaries. They tell a remarkable story of the experiences of those adventurous settlers, who left family and friends behind to create a new society on the other side of the world.

From now until the end of the year you can retrace these momentous journeys on a blog.
