An Australian prophet who founded a new land
This was actually quite a common thing in South America. There was also an attempt to create a Welsh colony in Argentina and a Croatian colony in Chile
And a scottish attempt in Panama!
Did not know about the Croats…
Boric the outgoing President of Chile is of Croat descent
Nicely done as always. 1890s are a fascinating decade. Huge burst of utopian thinking.
Yes! And thank you sir
Very interesting. I love that the guy ends up in New Zealand as a committed maintainer of the empire!
Aren’t people strange and wonderful!
And now the ex-PM of NZ lives in Australia!
Fascinating. Thanks for sharing this.
Wow! Great tale!
