Henry and Susannah left their mark on Australia

A large family has produced thousands of descendants today.

More Australians find they are descended from Henry and Susannah every year.

If you find you are a descendant and have not made contact please do so.

To end Arthur Myers speech he recited that well known poem, 

"OLD BOTANY BAY"

By Dame Mary Gilmore

I was the conscript sent to hell

 To make in the desert

The living well

I bore the heat

         I blazed the track         

Furrowed and bloody

Upon my back

I split the rock

 I felled the tree

The nation was

    Because of me
