Abstract
When Charles Gavan Duffy landed in Melbourne in 1856 at the age of forty, he was mature, a man of definite convictions and ideas. A leading Young Irelander, editor of the Nation, he had spent the formative years of his life in devoted service to his native country in an effort to ‘raise up Ireland morally, socially and politically and put the sceptre of self government in her hands’.[1] He looked on this purpose as the only one which could give meaning to his life and he tended to regard his stay in Victoria as an episode in a life of service to Ireland.
