Rachel Henning (1826-1914) was born in England. In 1854 she went to Australia, but returned to England in 1856 because of homesickness and the hot climate.

After 5 years in England she returned to Australia where she settled permanently.

Rachel's descriptive letters, mainly addressed to her sister in England, provide a detailed account of nearly 30 years of pioneering life in Australia. The letters were first published by The Bulletin in 1951 and 1952. They were collected in book form and published by Angus and Robertson in 1963, with a foreword and illustrations by Norman Lindsay.
