Anne Martin shares the story of her great uncle, Hiram Mildred. At just 13 years of age, Hiram Mildred sailed for the new colony of South Australia aboard the ‘Rapid’, a surveying brig, accompanied by his uncle George Mildred in 1836. Hiram’s father the Hon. Henry Richard Mildred of ‘Clairville’ in Campbelltown, arrived the following year.
