I am born on Norfolk Island then we move to live on Harewood Airport Christchurch.

The earliest recorded account of whaling operations carried out by the early Pitcairn settlers on Norfolk Island was November 1858, when 2 whale boats were purchased from visiting American whalers. The men were good seamen and the industry proved to be a lucrative one and in a short period of time 120 barrels of oil worth 500 pounds were produced.

1949: A.S.I.O., Australia's counter-espionage agency designed to handle international security matters, was established [in March 16].

1949: Work commenced on the Snowy Mountains Scheme to divert the water from the Snowy and Eucumbene rivers inland for irrigation.

1949: Nationality and Citizenship Act passed, by which Australians became Australian (rather than British) citizens although British passports were retained.

1949: Voting rights granted to Aboriginal servicemen. The Australian Aborigines League (AAL), formed in 1932 by William Cooper, fought to end all discriminatory practices against Aboriginal people in "civic, political and economic" spheres and demanded full citizens "rights". The Australian Government agreed and in 1949 the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 was amended to give the Federal vote to Aboriginal people who were serving, or who had served, in the defence forces.
