Lachlan Macquarie from Mull to Australia by Fiona Marsden. Ref: B6053

Title: Lachlan Macquarie from Mull to Australia.
Author/Editor: Fiona Marsden.
Description: A thumbnail sketch of the former Governor of NSW and his life on Mull and his life in the British services in the 1700s.
Macquarie was born in 1761 on Ulva of farming parents.  He joined the army, eventually became a Major-General, and was Governor-General of New South Wales between 1809 and 1820.  While he was in Australia he opened up the whole of the eastern seaboard, where many place names derive from his family and from Mull.  Helped by his wife, he brought a new humanity into the convict settlements.  It is even reported that desperate people would commit minor crimes so as to be transported to a new and better life in New South Wales.
Unfortunately, Macquarie had influential political enemies, both in London and Australia, who were jealous of his achievements and opposed his advancement.  As a result, he was Governor-General for only eleven years.  He founded the village of Salen in 1808.
