About
Jump to
Charles Macfaull (1800 – 13 Dec 1846) was an early settler in the Swan River Colony in Western Australia. He arrived in 1830, and is credited with having planted the colony's first vineyard, using vines brought from the Cape of Good Hope. He worked as the colony's postmaster, and in 1833 established its first successful newspaper, the Perth Gazette and Western Australian Times, which survives today as The West Australian. The original printing press, a tiny Ruthven press that was used to prepare the first paper, is currently housed in the Western Australian Museum.
