===Historical background===
*''[http://angloindian.wordpress.com/history A Brief History of the Anglo Indians]'' by Dr. Gloria J. Moore. An article written for inclusion in a publication in 1988, ''The Australian People: an Encyclopedia of the Nation, its People and Their Origins''. A second edition of this book by James Jupp, Cambridge University Press, 2001 is available in a [http://books.google.com.au/books?id=yTKFBXfCI1QC&pg=PA435 Limited View Google Book], page 435.
:The second part of the article mentions the many connections between India and Australia. Included in these is that a major shipment of settlers was organised by Sir William Burton, a judge in Madras in 1844. Burton was president of the Madras East India Society and sought relief for those who "are Christians and look to England as the land of their origin". The society sent two groups from Madras to Sydney in the William Prowse (1853) and the Paltyra (1854). (A similar scheme for Albany in Western Australia ended with a shipwreck.) Many of these men were compositors in the printing trade. Those settled by Burton were surveyed by the author Henry Cornish in 1875 and the results were published in 1879 in his ''Under the Southern Cross'' (republished by Penguin in 1975). The original version of this book is available on the free website archive.org. Here are two links for what seems to be the same book.
