Joyce,
I knew of the £10 Tourist but thought that it started in the late 1940's.
Had no idea that it was going in 1850.

Phillip Asked - Does anyone know what the assisted passage bit
was??????
This was the "Ten Pound Migrant". Their travel was subsidised on condition
that they did not return to England for two years. If they decided that
Australia was not for them they had to repay the subsidy. Why anyone would
want to return to England from this great country I do not know!
