Would it be feasible to be in Queensland from Hobart?  I will have to look up geography for area as not familiar.

I would doubt it, as Victoria is the closest, New South Wales is north of that, and then Queensland, north of NSW. It did say the ship they travelled on The Donald McKay went via Melbourne, which is in Victoria. They travelled on the Indenture System. I am in the UK, but have been to Tasmania.

Yes it is quiet possible especially if he was a miner. A lot of miners followed the gold rushes. My husband ancestor went from Cornwall England [where he was born] to USA then to Victoria Australia then on to New South Wales and ended up in Ravenswood Queensland and lastly to Charters Towers where he and three others bought into a small mine.

Interesting, thanks for sharing.  So it is a possibility he may have travelled outside of Hobart when older.
