Good Afternoon All, I have a similar curiosity too, my husbands' great grandparents arrived in SA on the good ship Marion - which was shipwrecked (that story is fascinating in itself), obviously picked themselves up dusted themselves off and turned up in Bendigo some time later. Just to add to the mix they 10 years later with young children went back to SA to Wallaroo. How did they go to Bendigo after their adventuresome (sic) arrival, and how did they return, no family records to tell me, its not urgent that I know but it is something to speculate - we would think nothing of making the journey now - but it sparks the curiosity in me how did they do it. Have a good day everyone, we have just returned from a glorious morning in Kangaroo Valley NSW to the local Celtic Gala, where we are upholding the Cornish Tradition of being at everything Celtic and leaving our mark :) Coral Jennings Southern Sons of Cornwall Member > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Date: Sun, 25 Aug 2013 12:59:13 +0930 > Subject: Re: [AUS-SAGEN] Overland travel to SA > > Can those who reply do so to the list, I am also interested > Thanks > Tracey > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of ian simon > Sent: Saturday, 24 August 2013 11:49 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [AUS-SAGEN] Overland travel to SA > > Dear all > > We hear of many accounts of people in the 1800s travelling overland to Victoria and NSW but I do not recall many travelling the other way into SA.

Hello Coral, My great-grandparents also arrived in SA in 1851 on the 'Marion'. You may know that a 'reunion' of 'Marion descendants' was held at Edithburgh on Yorke Penunsula in 2001 which I attended and met many of the descendants. I have some information gleaned at the time. I would be interested in the g-grandparents' name. Do you have an interest in some of the data I hold of a general nature and perhaps that which might apply to your g-grandparents' name? Regards John Keynes in Salisbury Heights, SA. ----- Original Message ----- From: "C J" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, August 25, 2013 1:50 PM Subject: Re: [AUS-SAGEN] Overland travel to SA > Good Afternoon All, > I have a similar curiosity too, my husbands' great grandparents arrived in > SA on the good ship Marion - which was shipwrecked (that story is > fascinating in itself), obviously picked themselves up dusted themselves > off and turned up in Bendigo some time later.
