Caroline Chisholm: the Emigrant’s Friend

‘If Captain James Cook discovered Australia - if John Macarthur planted the first seeds of its extraordinary prosperity - if Ludwig Leichhardt penetrated and explored its before unknown interior - Caroline Chisholm has done much more: she has peopled - she alone has colonised in the true sense of the term.’ - Henry Parkes’ Empire newspaper, 15 August 1859.
