George & Sarah Stacey

The Stacey history highlights the strength of purpose and determination that was needed to motivate people in the early 1800’s to travel 130,000 miles across the world from England to Australia. This account features George and Sarah Stacey who decided to uproot themselves from the farming country of Somerset and leave their English way of life behind them to start again in Australia.

England in the early 1800’s was following with interest the settlements and developments of the first colonies of N.S.W. and Tasmania. Newspapers in the early 1800’s were also featuring announcements by the London Colonial Office of the new colony of South Australia to be developed by free settlers. It was proposed that it would be administered by appointed Governors from England.
