Amongst its leaders was the Welsh-born [[Chartism|Chartist]] [[John Basson Humffray]], one of a significant group of immigrants that came over from Wales at this time.
Mass emigration from Wales to Australia began the early 20th century with [[New South Wales]] and [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]] being popular destinations.
