Bondi Pioneer

Written by Milton Milligan

Narrated by Milton Milligan

An inspiring true story of an eleven year old boy’s rise from the tragic memories and utter despair of his years in an English Workhouse. His dreams and hope for a better life in the fledgeling Colony of Sydney, New South Wales, became a reality when in 1833 he emigrated with his wife and three small children. There he opened his business as a high class Saddler and Shoe and Boot maker in George Street. Through his extraordinary skills as a shrewd businessman, he was able to become a wealthy influential entrepreneur. Over the next 58 years, with the help of his large and devoted family, he was able to make a huge contribution, in business, local government, as well as socially and spiritually as a prominent Church Leader. Not only was his influence felt in the Eastern Suburbs, in particular, Waverley and Bondi, where he lived, but all of Sydney and parts of New South Wales. Joseph Dickson’s story has an important place in the history of our early development and as such deserves to be told in its entirety. Those who choose to read it will be richly rewarded.
