This week’s journal entries give us a clear picture of the daily activities being performed by our new migrants in the new colony, some of which include the planting of crops, hunting for food, building of an oven, the location for the first printing press and relationships between indigenous Australians and Europeans. At present everyone appears to be getting along and we can establish from the journal entries, that there were no convicts sent to South Australia. Did you know that South Australia was the only Australian colony to be established with free settlers? This week we look at what is was like living in Australia in 1836, making comparisons to life in England during this time and what life is like in Australia now.
