Nicholas, of the Irish gentry, lives as a miner, pastoralist, brother, husband and parent in Australia after the potato famine. In 1852, after unrest and the potato famine, Nicholas Sadleir leaves Ireland's Protestant ascendancy with two brothers for Victoria when he is 17. He finds gold to start his life in farming and grazing in New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmania but loses his thousands of sheep and cattle in the depression of the 1890s.

Four move to Argentina and Sadleirs still breed Merino sheep there.
