Everything about De Rays Expedition totally explained

The Third de Rays Expedition, or simply the de Rays Expedition was the third New Guinea expedition of Marquis de Rays, a French nobleman who attempted to start a colony in the South Pacific. The expedition attempted to establish a colony in a place the marquis called La Nouvelle France which was the island now referred to as New Ireland bricks, New Ireland is mostly dense jungle, and the settlers were unable to carve out the farmland they'd been promised. Many started to fall sick, after their weakening journey on the India and were unable to ward off new tropical diseases such as malaria. as a media storm swelled around them. Eventually they were hired out by the colony to English-speaking families for thirty pounds a year, in an attempt to force the Italians to assimilate into Australian culture. Families were torn apart, and many of the colonists hoped to settle an area of New South Wales, as enough skilled tradesmen existed among the settlers to form an established settlement. Some colonists, hearing of land becoming available in the north, surveyed and individually claimed areas that collectively formed a parcel, and established the settlement of New Italy on the Richmond River near Woodburn in 1882. Many of the former colonists moved to that area. The settlement is now deserted, but a museum exists on the site.Further Information
