From the early 19th century onwards, a mass migration of settlers leaving the British Isles led to a rapid expansion of settlement in the American West and the dominions of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Two land settlement schemes spanning seven generations and nearly 200 years in Australia form the backdrop of this story of the Osborne family. The story began in 1836 with the arrival in Adelaide of Henry Osborn in the ‘first fleet’ to South Australia as an assisted passage migrant under the Wakefield Scheme. His grandson George Osborne left South Australia in 1895 and later joined the Group Settlement Scheme in the South-West of Western Australia when he took up a farm on Group 41 (Carmarthen) near Denmark on 4 December 1922. Today, the Osborne family celebrates 100 years of living on that original Group Settlement property.

A photographic record of the development of the region west of Denmark known as Group 110, where 20 families settled under the Western Australian government’s Group Settlement Scheme in the 1920’s. The Poyser family was one of these early pioneering families arriving in 1924 and set the task of clearing karri forest to establish a diary farming region in what is now called Kentdale. As a child, Henworth Poyser arrived when he was only 4 years old and over the next 11 years, growing up on the family farm left him with fond memories which he complied during his early 20’s into this collection of treasured photographs.

Hannah was born into a wealthy family in Mapledurham, United Kingdom, in 1875. Well-educated at a finishing school in Switzerland and speaking four languages, she arrived in Australia in 1921 with her husband and children. The family settled on virgin land in Denmark, Western Australia, in the relatively primitive conditions of the time with one horse as transport. For eleven years Hannah meticulously entered in her diaries every day. These now-transcribed diaries give us a rare insight into the relations and associations she had on an everyday basis – with her family, friends and the wider community of Denmark – and a glimpse of how life was for a woman in the country during War World II.

If ever an institution started with the odds stacked against it, it was the Denmark School of Agriculture, which is now the W.A. College of Agriculture Denmark.

In 1942 the Army took over the Narrogin School of Agriculture to be used as a Convalescent Depot. The students were sent home and two months later forty four reassembled from all over the state in the newly chosen location of Denmark.
