He came to Australia in 1856. He joined the Methodist Church, studied at the University of Melbourne, was ordained a minister and in 1864 went to Fiji as a missionary, becoming interested in Fijian and Tongan social systems, also working on Australian Aboriginal social systems while on return visits. He returned permanently to Australia in 1884, living mainly near Melbourne.
