Robert was convicted of stealing a bundle of linen and transported per Active on the Third Fleet in 1791 while Bridget was also convicted of stealing linen and transported from Dublin per Sugar Cane in 1792.

Together they raised nine children and were among the early pioneering families who farmed along the Hawkesbury River.

They would now have some 66 grandchildren and at least 374 great-grandchildren.

Robert's unique, gold legal seals will be on display at Windsor library for two weeks before and after the reunion. 

Guests can also visit other places of interest in the Hawkesbury area – St Matthews Church in Windsor where Robert and Bridget married and the St James Church of England Church in Pitt Town with views over the lagoon towards Robert’s land; their graves in the Pitt Town CofE Cemetery; Wiseman’s Ferry to Webb’s Creek and St Albans to the Settlers Arms Inn, the Court House and the original magnificently restored Price Morris Cottage.

Approaching the Wiseman’s Ferry crossing you can take a walk on the Old North Road to inspect convict workmanship; stop at Laughtondale Cemetery; drive on to Leetsville, Sackville, Portland Head and Wilberforce where so many of the pioneers lived.

The Australiana Pioneer Village is an amazing place to visit.

Most of the buildings on the site were transported there from around the Hawkesbury - the church for example came from the Upper Macdonald River.

There is a full kitchen to provide light morning and afternoon teas and lunches.

When accepting please indicate whether you’d like to attend a dinner on the Saturday night.
