Note (2) MELVILLE ISLAND 1824 - 1829 - Sometime during this period convict Alfred Abbott volunteered his services to Melville Island, off Northern Australia. No doubt his trade skills were required to assist in the construction of a new Military Outpost at Fort Dundas on Apsley Strait (near Pirlangimpi) under the command of Bremer. This was the first British settlement in North Australia. All this time the Kiwi aborigines kept the British besieged in a small area around the fort. In September 1826 the first Buffalo was brought into the Fort, and finally in March 1829 Fort Dundas was abondoned - largely due to the Kiwi hostility. It is now the Catholic mission at Garden Point. He may have been given the opportunity to reduce his sentence by working on Melville Island, as on 20 June 1829 he was granted his Ticket of Leave.
