		Peter Carington, 6th Lord Carrington, is the archetypal British aristocrat: from Eton to Sandhurst to the House of Lords and high office (including the post of British High Commissioner to Australia and a place in every Conservative government from 1951 to 1979).
		By the middle of the nineteenth century, however, the family was facing financial difficulty and Peter's grandfather, Rupert, went to New South Wales in 'hope of relief from creditors' (his elder brother was already in residence as Governor of New South Wales).
		In Sydney Rupert Carington found financial salvation by marrying the daughter of John Horsfall, one of the leading sheep farmers in the colony.
