At last, YES
Ship one, ship 2, ship 3 etc. :lol:
The peacock is not lost, it is on display in the Warrnambool maritime museum whereas the ship was lost forever. That's why I went for the ship.

No I can't but all the names of the boats in the fleet and all the passenger names are on the walls at the "Tea House" at the top of Harvey Range above Townsville.

I have one for you all Most Australian towns owe their existence to bullock teams and horse teams, which was the preferred method of transporting goods and what was the distance they could travel in a day
A wheelbarrow and about 15 miles.

Out of bullocks and horses that is
This is a somewhat ambiguous question as under Ideal conditions a team could do 3.5 miles an hour but at the other end of the scale that could come back to only 1 mile per hour.
Cobb n Co used horses, generally transporting people, could travel between 4 and 8 miles an hour dependant on terrain, swapping horse teams over between 15 and 20 mile to keep teams fresh.
Many Australian country towns owe their origin to the bullock teams, having grown from a store or shanty where teams rested or crossed a stream. These shanties were spaced at about 12-mile (20 km) intervals, which was the usual distance for a team to travel in a day
Bit of interest if you looking for relics detecting as you can work out roughly the next camp
Cobb and co had multiple stations with stables, but the normal man or woman in the goldfields usually didn't ride the horse it had the equipment on it so it to was around the 12 mile mark in a day as well with the owner walking it
