Biography
model maker, was a daughter of Michael and Elizabeth Rushby who came to New South Wales in 1840 as free settlers from Doncaster, England on board the Champion ; their four children included Charlotte, then aged seven. Granted forty acres at McDonald’s Creek, near Mudgee, her father established a farm and built a slab hut, the family settlement being known as Kaludibah, or Cloudy Bay. Michael Rushby died of a stroke in 1857 and his wife later married the manager of the property. Charlotte Rushby was about nineteen when she made the model cottage, now in the Powerhouse Museum. She also made a model of an Aboriginal camp near the settlement. According to the family, both travelled to England in 1900 for display in an exhibition. Later, she married James Harrington, a musician, and had six children; after her husband’s death, she lived with a widowed daughter. It is not known if she made models after her marriage.
