| Description : |
Portrait of R. Stuckey from Umberatana from the S.A. Northern Pioneers' composite, 1850-1859 (shown in position on B 6912/3). Robert Stuckey was born 9 September 1812 in Muchelney, Somerset, England. He arrived in South Australia in 1839 on the Moffatt (ship). Robert was the brother of Samuel Joseph Stuckey, a pastoralist. Robert worked on Oomberatana (Umberatana) run, 90 miles north of Blinman. The Umberatana lease (no. 566) was applied for by the brothers John, James, and William Thomas. They were successful and took possession on 1 January 1858 when they became the northern most settlers in South Australia at that time. Umberatana is east of Lake Eyre. In 1862 this lease, and several others, were transferred to Samuel Stuckey, who had discovered Lake Hope in 1859, his brother Robert Stuckey, with whom Samuel had worked the Mulligan run, and Thomas Elder. Robert Stuckey died 6 September 1897 in North Adelaide. |
