Any takers?


While showing my English visitors around South Australia in June this year, we visited the Maritime Museum at Port Adelaide - a fascinating place and worthy of your time as you step back into early history of our Australian State. Experience the on-board accommodation voyagers contended with on their journey from the UK, and hear the creaking of the boat's timbers as "she" ploughs (plows?) through rough seas.

The poster above makes interesting reading, and it caught our eye as my friends live in Truro, Cornwall, UK!

Joining others at Our World Tuesday
and with grateful thanks to our hosts

That sounds like a good museum to visit. It would have been interesting for your friends from Truro. We visited the Migrant Museum (not sure of its name) when we were in Adelaide, that was very interesting too.

On a cold morning like today the prospect of free emigration looks rather attractive.
