In the early 1860's William Rawson
Brame had a vision to establish a classless, nonconformist society
in New Zealand.
On May 29th 1862 the migrant ships "Matilda Wattenbach"
and "Hanover" departed from the London Docks bound for
the Albertland Settlement in New Zealand with the first of over
3000 settlers.
The Matilda Wattenbach |
The Albertland Story chronicles their trials and tribulations.

artefacts, and other items relating to the district from the 1860's.
