Timeline for the history of South Australia
Why emigrate to South Australia? We will read this information together:
Many emigrants under sail endured extreme hardships, this was especially the case for couples travelling with children. What then was the motivation for undertaking such a hazardous journey?
Government inducement, squalid living conditions at home, the promise of a richer life, religious freedom, adventure, the prospect of gaining reasonable employment with a relatively fair wage, the chance of a better life for their children and later the lure of gold were the major motivating factors.
The Migration Museum offers the following reasons for emigration: -to escape poverty, hunger and unemployment. -to make a better life. -to find religious freedom. chain migration (to follow families already in South Australia).
In the early years of settlement most emigrants to South Australia were in search of a better life. Life for the poor in Europe in the mid 1800’s was extremely harsh, the Industrial Revolution had resulted in dramatic changes in lifestyle, unemployment was high, working conditions for the poor were atrocious and the laws were extremely harsh.
