Caroline Chisholm was born in England in 1808, coming to Australia in 1838 where she set up a home for other women who had come to live in Australia. She worked to improve life on the ships bringing people to Australia to start a new life and started a loans plan to bring poor children and families to Australia. She arranged free trips so that the families of convicts who were transported to Australia could come and join them. Caroline believed strongly that poor people should be able to buy farms cheaply.
Caroline was a champion of the poor and underprivileged and worked tirelessly to improve their conditions.
