South Australia is the driest State in the driest continent on earth. Yet it is to this State my forefathers chose to come when as teenagers they left the lush, green countryside of England to take up farming land. They did not know each other; William Kelly, aged 16, came from the Isle of Man in 1838 and Henry Gray from East Anglia in 1851.
