- Notes: John Keane with his wife and two children sailed from Cork harbour in the Ship Lady McNaughton in November 1836. After a few years they took up the lease of Tomorromo Station near Tumut, but only stayed one year because it was a severe winter and Keane did not like the place. Eventually they ended up at what is now known as Cookardinia further to the south west.

Most of the passengers arriving in Sydney from 1837 onwards were free immigrants rather than convicts. The Lady McNaughton was an early family emigrant sailing ship. In 1837 this ship made a memorable and significant arrival in Sydney Harbour.

Orginally there were 444 people on board the Lady McNaughton (some more were born on board) of these 15.5% did not survive. During the voyage 10 adults and 44 children died and another 4 adults and nine children died after the ship arrived (including the ship’s doctor).

The ship became the first to be quarantined at the new unfinished quarantine station at North Head. The sick were left on board while the others were housed in tents on shore to spend many weeks in misery.

A Board of Enquiry heard that there was too much luggage on board thus restricting air flow, there was an inadequate check on the health of embarking passengers, the level of cleanliness and personal habits of many of the passengers was reported as disgusting, the level of medical supplies was inadequate, and the doctor was not up to the job. In fact the conditions on board were worse than those experienced on convict ships. The main reason for the deaths was typhus. Changes were made to the rules governing future emigrant ships as a result of the Enquiry.

Several of the survivors became pioneers of the Tumut and upper Murrumbidgee, some of them being the family of Joseph Cox (who’s wife did not survive the trip) and Henry Bingham who became the most) important government representative in the southern part of the colony.
