Born into the working life of 19th-century Cornwall, James Henry Hawke left Penzance, Cornwall, in 1856 as an ordinary seaman aboard the Palmyra, arriving in Sydney at the height of the gold rush. Like many young men of the time, he chose to abandon his duties and desert the ship.

Avoiding 'capture and return', his journey led inland to the goldrush town of Araluen. There he settled, marrying Matilda Anderson in 1860. Together they raised ten children, establishing the foundations of an enduring Australian family whose descendants would carry the Hawke name across regions and generations.

This book traces that passage from Penzance to Araluen and beyond, situating one family's experience within the broader context of migration and settlement that shaped 19th-century Australia.
