In 1888 Robert Thomson said 'Let all the people from Great Britain and Ireland come here if theychoose; they would immediately become Australians the moment they set their feet on the shoresof this continent with the determination of never going back from it.'1Thomson claims that therewas a feeling of belonging upon arrival. However, how did the journey that every migrant had totake to reach those shores contribute to this feeling? I propose to look at SS Great Britain's journeysto and from Australia, analysing how migrants' motivations and experience of the voyagecontributed to the development of a national feeling in Australia. I will explore how the journey wasportrayed by merchants and the government, determining the relationship between the two, andcompare that to migrants' actual experience.

1888年，罗伯特·汤姆森说：“让所有来自英国和爱尔兰的人来这里吧，如果他们愿意的话;他们一踏上这块大陆的海岸，就立即成为澳大利亚人，决心永远不回去。”汤姆森声称，到达时有一种归属感。然而，每个移民到达这些海岸的旅程是如何促成这种感觉的呢？我建议看看SS大不列颠的journeystto和从澳大利亚，分析移民的动机和经验的voyagented如何发展的民族感情在澳大利亚。我将探索商人和政府是如何描绘这段旅程的，确定两者之间的关系，并将其与移民的实际经历进行比较。
