a family history GORDON HONEYCOMBE
AUSTRALIA FOE ME
Here in my adopted land, no parent feels the pain Of hearing loved ones cry for bread and
know they cry in vain; But labour meets a sure reward, and want and hunger flee: I love thee
well old England, but Australia for me.
Written by an emigrant, 1851
