Description

Not all of Ireland's exports to Van Diemen's Land were convicts. In the early decades of the pivotal nineteenth century when Hobart Town society was being melded together of many disparate peoples, the town would receive a group of highly talented musicians from Britain's leading theatres and musical institutions. Many of them were highly trained by leading European masters and their musical successors.Sophia Davis was one such musician. A trailblazer who came early to the colony from Ireland with her husband and small son, she would operate a musical business importing London's finest pianos and teaching the Lieutenant Governor's family along with the families of the colony's leading members. With her husband and son, both named James, she would become an early pioneer of the new Port Phillip District of Gippsland, importing the first piano and bringing Rossini's Italian Opera to the bush. Both Sophia's and James's lives were cut tragically short by illness, but their legacy continued through their only son James who went on to found a successful pastoral dynasty. James (Junior) is the author's great grandfather.A former journalist, Kara Davis based her account of the lives of her ancestors James and Sophia Davis on letters recently discovered in an old suitcase found at the historic family homestead, Waverley, near Yarram, South Gippsland. Early pioneers of the Australian colonies who brought music and horticulture, digitised early newspapers help flesh out the world they left behind-that of the exclusive Italian Opera in early nineteenth century Dublin.The story follows a perilous journey on the ship Lindsays to early Van Diemen's Land where Hobart Town's nascent musical world is emerging. As financial crisis grips the colony the family venture across the strait into the wild frontier of Gippsland, on the southern fringe of the Port Phillip District.
