In a letter written by Hannah O. Penn to her children later in life, she described her arrival in Australia: ‘I Hannah Penn (age 24) arrived in Queensland March 2nd 1880. I had a wire from a friend in Thargomindah to say wages there were very good. So to Thargomindah I went. I was married in Thargomindah March 30th 1882 to William J. Fraser, an Australian.’
Hannah had 2 daughters and 3 sons, who all had large families with descendants in Queensland.
