Valerie CarusoHOST
Now, I want to say the beginning because it wasn't the planting of the grapes at Olive Farm that was the beginning or that 1829 just happened to be the same year that Captain James Sterling founded the Swan River Colony, Western Australia's first free settlement named for that Swan River.
Valerie CarusoHOST
It was supposed to be Australia's first colony that was not a so-called convict colony, but that would change soon.
