The mention of the barque /HMS/ /Buffalo/ grabbed my attention. It's
famous in Adelaide for bringing the first settlers here in 1836 (only
free settlers in South Australia) and there's a grounded replica at
Glenelg which has been a restaurant for many years. There wasn't much
space on the /HMS/ /Buffalo/, it's small, and it amazes me how it ever
sailed the high seas. Must have been a rough trip!

Canada. 1960. It tells the story of Elijah Woodman. Fascinating
reading.

Colonies 1839-40
Hello Listers,
Rather recently, Ron McCoy referred to Canadian Exiles transported to
the Australian colonies 1839-40; the two websites contained in this
posting may be interesting to researchers
There is a Fact Sheet http://www.guertin.info/patriots.pdf and a List
of Canadian transportees despatched to the Australian colonies via the
HMS/Buffalo/ 1839-40 comprising French Canadians from Lower Canada and
American Patriots who had crossed the border
http://members.iinet.net.au/~perthdps/convicts/canadian.html
The Americans disembarked at Hobart, Van Diemen’s Land (now Tasmania)
and the French Canadians from Lower Canada were sent to Sydney, New
South Wales
Trust this is interest to CTI researchers in Canada
