Chequered Lives is a fascinating story of a Quaker family from England who camped on the beach in1837 before the city of Adelaide was created, but rose to owning a 3000-acre estate in the Adelaide Hills. Barton Hack built his first house where the Adelaide railway station now stands, became a merchant w…ho owned ships, a whaling station and the first vineyard in the Province, and was chairman of the first Chamber of Commerce in Australia. His younger brother Stephen became a grazier and explorer. After they lost everything in the crash of 1841-1843 their lives took a very different turn. Barton's great, great granddaughter Iola Mathews with Chris Durrant has written the family's story based on family letters, diaries and memoirs. Some photographs and plans.
