On a more serious note, I have ancestors who had a couple of children in Geelong in the 1840s before returning to Pommieland. I wonder if they were on that ship?

A lot of people died on the way out here, Dizzi. The voyage took about four months. My own gr/grandparents left England in 1836 with three children but buried two of them at sea when an outbreak of measles occurred. 48 people died from it.

They must have hated this place before they even got here - but how do you turn around and go back again? and perhaps lose the other child?
