<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>A recent clean up of the deeds room at
Minter Ellison Lawyers unearthed a copy of a 1930’s handwritten diary written
by the Rev. John Ramsden Wollaston on his journey from England to Western
Australia in 1840 – 1841. The journal, <i>John Ramsden Wollaston’s Journal
of his voyage from Gravesend to the Swan River 1840-1</i> was handed over to
the State Library at a recent morning tea. CEO & State Librarian
Margaret Allen accepted the donation from John Poulsen, Managing Partner (Perth
Office), Minter Ellison Lawyers. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

lang=EN-US>Wollaston’s diary tells of daily life aboard the ship “Henry”
(Captain Todd), and contains observations of birds, fish, the weather and
countries visited on the way to Western Australia. The handwritten copy
donated by Minter Ellison was made by Canon Alfred Burton, a well known clergy
man and prominent theological historian in WA.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Rev. Wollaston was 50 when he arrived in
Fremantle in April 1941. He arrived with the intention of becoming the
Chaplain at Australind, but was then told that there was no money to build a
church. In May 1842 Wollaston and his sons built St Mark’s Church in
Picton. This church is the second oldest church in WA. Wollaston
was transferred to the parish of St John's, Albany in 1848, and was
appointed Archdeacon of Western Australia early in 1849. Over the next
seven years Wollaston covered many hundreds of miles on horseback throughout
the settled areas of the colony. He died in 1856.</span><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape
