'The hero of this story of Australian pioneering days began life as a poor boy on an Irish farm.  He dreamed and planned how one day he would make a better life for his family.  When he was 17 he found himself at last, with his parents, five sisters and younger brother, on board a migrant ship bound for New South Wales.'
