1787-1953
CATHOLIC WEEKLY


This is a great timeline of history, not just re the Catholic Church, but Australian history in general. eg.

1800.  January 11: Father James Harold , one of the first batch of Irish political prisoners, accused of complicity in the '98 rebellion, arrived at Sydney in the transport Minerva.

1800. February 16: father James Dixon, another Irish political prisoner, arrived in the transport, Friendship.


 Then a quite unusual event...

1803. January 15: Father O'Neill returned to Ireland, 
as it was discovered that he was the victim of malice and perjury. 

His release had been ordered before he left Ireland two years previously.

Look for the Castle Hill Rebellion in 1804...
read about the six Irish Sisters of charity in 1838.

1943.  September 27: mentions the bombing of Darwin.
