Chequered Lives
John Barton Hack and Stephen Hack and the Early Days of South Australia
by Iola MathewsChequered Lives is the fascinating story of a Quaker family from England who camped on the beach in 1837 before the city of Adelaide was created, but rose to owning a 3000-acre estate in the Adelaide Hills.
Barton Hack built his first house where the Adelaide Railway station now stands, became a merchant who owned ships, a whaling station and the first vineyard in the Province, and was chairman of the first Chamber of Commerce in Australia.
His younger brother Stephen became a grazier and explorer.
After they lost everything in the crash of 1841-1843, their lives took a very different turn.
When Barton's great-great-granddaughter, journalist Iola Mathews, opened a trunk full of their letters, diaries and memoirs, she knew she had to write the family's story.
