Ballycurragh to Tasmania 1649 - 1868 Grey Family and Innes Clan Volume 1 is a detailed work of history focusing on the migration of three Gray families to Van Diemen's Land in the late 1820s. This volume examines the lives of four sisters who traveled from Ireland to the remote colony in 1829. After attending finishing school in Paris to acquire social graces, the women established their home at the Eastbourne property near Avoca.

The narrative explores the personal experiences of the sisters, including Catherine's relationship with William Talbot and Elizabeth's connection to Frederick Maitland Innes, a future Premier of Tasmania. This account of Australia and New Zealand history provides a unique look at the social ethos and family dynamics of the era. The text documents the loves and losses of the Grey family as they adapted to their new environment.
