September 1869 in Melbourne) war ein englischer Besiedlungspionier, Unternehmer und Politiker. 1835 finanzierte er eine Gruppe von Siedlern aus Vandiemensland (heutiges Tasmanien), um mit ihr auf seinem Schoner Enterprize zum autralischen Festland zu segeln. Die Gruppe segelte über Port Phillip den Yarra River hinauf, um eine Siedlung, das heutige Melbourne, zu gründen. John Pascoe Fawkner war Sohn des Metallraffiniers John Fawkner und dessen Frau Hannah (geborene Pascoe). 1803 begleitete er im Alter von 11 Jahren seinen Vater, der wegen Hehlerei zu 14 Jahren Haft verurteilt wurde, in die Deportation. Die zwei Schiffe sollten eine neue britische Kolonie in der Bass-Straße gründen. Die Strafgefangenen landeten in der Sullivan Bay, nahe der heutigen Stadt Sorrento, einer Vorstadt von Melbourne. Einige Monate musste die Kolonie um das nackte Überleben kämpfen. Es gab rund 27 Fluchtversuche, eingschlossen derer von William Buckley. 1804 überzeugte akuter Wasser- und Holzmangel Vizegouverneur David Collins schließlich, die Kolonie aufzugeben. 1804 verließen zivile Siedler und Sträflinge die Kolonie in die neue Stadt Hobart ...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=4740288 ...
