The first European in the area was Henry Stuart Russell , a wealthy 22-year-old member of the English upper class , who arrived in 1841 , laying claim to land which he later called Cecil Plains Station . The new literature inspired enthusiasm and avid interest among members of the growing British middle class , who eagerly sought to add insect books to their personal libraries . Though many of the Irish emigrants are , doubtless , persons of small means , who have been hoarding and saving for years , and living in rags and squalor , in order to amass sufficient money to carry themselves and families across the Atlantic , and to beg their way to the western states , where they may ' squat ' or purchase cheap lands , the great bulk appear to be people of the most destitute class , who go to join their friends and relatives , previously established in America . All these men , and men of a hundred other classes , who laboured most commendably and gallantly in their day , may be considered as swept away into the gulph of oblivion .
