Passengers to Australia from Natal: Hannah 1851

Australian gold-diggings, Ararat 

From 1852 the discovery of gold in Australia led to an exodus of colonists from Natal. Some were disillusioned with the way the Byrne settler scheme had turned out; for a few, it was an escape from debts incurred in Natal; all were lured by the prospect of new get-rich-quick opportunities in the Antipodes. No precise figures are recorded for those who left permanently. The families of some men remained behind in Natal while the breadwinner went adventuring, not intending to stay in Australia unless fortune smiled upon him.

Gold-diggers at evening mess: Mount Alexander 1851

In October of 1852 the Hannah and Sarah Bell went directly to Melbourne from Natal, carrying such settlers. The brig Wee Tottie and the Golden Age followed in 1853 and 1854 respectively. Additionally there were passengers who took alternative routes e.g. via the Cape.

Should an ancestor unaccountably disappear from the Natal scene during this period, he might reappear in Australia - or pop up again in Natal after an interval in the other colony.
