Informations supplémentaires

A statue of Scottish (Glasgow) born Elisa Forlong and her Saxon Merino Ram in Campbell Town in the Midlands area of Tasmania, Australia. Elisa Jack (1784 – 1859) was the founder of the super-fine Marino wool industry in Tasmania, Australia. Elisa and her two surviving sons William and Andrew, in the 1820s’, walked 1, 500 miles through Germany, selecting the best flocks of the Marino breed. She paid for them with gold sovereigns stitched to the hem of her long skirts. Taking medical advice to move to a warmer climate, Elisa and her husband John Forlong moved first to New South Wales in Australia. In 1831, Elisa and her husband moved to Tasmania and established the Saxon Marino breed around Campbell Town. Elisa’s contribution to sheep farming has earned for her the title of Mother of the Golden Fleece.
