Summary

Henry Thomas Morris arrived in South Australia in December 1836 on board the ship "Buffalo" with his uncle Admiral, Sir John Hindmarsh. He was born at Gravesend in 1823. He established stations at Hindmarsh Valley, Encounter Bay, Reedy Creek near Mount Gambier. Later he was manager at Anlaby Station in the Barossa Valley for the Dutton family. At his last appearance at the 1907 Commenoration Day he praised the early pioneers for overcoming difficulties in the new colony. They were mostly sons of wealthy families and because the promised pre-purchased acres of land were not immediately ready for them they had to settle on the banks of the river at Glenelg in primitive huts built of reeds and pines
