| Summary: | The colony of South Australia was unique among the colonies that were set up in Australia
in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in that it was established by an English company
with significant capital and a unique plan for colonisation which would attract both
capitalists and workers and which would attempt to replicate the class structure of England
(Pope, p.6). There were no convicts or transport ships, but free settlers, many seeking
religious freedom, many with a hunger for land, many furthering the fortunes of large
families in England. |
