Caroline Chisholm

Caroline Chisholm (1808–1877)
Caroline Chisholm was born in
England. She came to Australia in 1838 and set up a home for other women who had come to live here and had started a new life. She worked to helped people on the ships to come over to Australia and start a new life. She also started a loan plan to bring poor children and families to Australia. She arranged free trips so that the families  who were transported to Australia could come to join them. She also believed
"poor people should be able to buy farms cheaply"
Caroline Chisholm's work has been remembered in lots of ways. Her face has appeared on stamps and on a bank note.
