EDIT:

Several copies on eBay, as at today's date

According to the books, Isabella had Ben and Ted (Edward) with a white man (Benjamin Challenger). She married a Lionel Campbell before Philip Rigney then eloped with Jimmy Rankin.
Only one book mentions Lionel Campbell whilst another has Rigney as her first husband and Rankin as her second. There are pictures of some of these people but you need to purchase the books to see them.
Also known as Isabella Multjung or Mutjuli.

Thanks for that info i will read it all many thanks

As I said before- I don't think Isabella was married to Benjamin- although, it looks as though she did have children with him.

AN OLD NORTHERN IDENTITY.
Mr. Samuel Challenger.
One of the most widely known and highly
esteemed residents ot the north, now - livlnsgin
retirement at Melrose, is Mr. Samuel Challen
ger, who has been closely identified with the
town and district- since 1866. . This fine -old
colonist was born in Sheffield in 1841. His
father, Mr. Benjamin Challenger, was a boot
maker in the homeland, but the call of Aus
tralia made such an appeal to him that he
embarked from Liverpool on the ship Hibernic,
and landed at Melbourne in 1852. After about
12 months in Victoria, the family removed to
South Austalia. Mr Samuel' Challenger's
first occupation in this State was that of bul
lock driving for Mr. George Yates of Hack
ham. Then he joined his father in the boot
making trade, and afterwards removed to
Auburn, where he worked on the farms of Messrs.
John Place and Brown ' Brothers. He after
wards branched out on his own account with
a team of bullocks, in carting ore from the
Bum copper mines to Port Wakefield, taking
coal as back loading. The family -decided to
go north to Port Augusta. On arrival at
Crystal Brook with their teams, with the in
tention, of proceeding to the head of the gulf
by the route west of the Flinders Range in-
formation of scarcity of water caused them to
turn aside and pass through the Booyoolie Es
tate, and the sites of the present towns of Laura
and Wirrabara to Mount Remarkable. Drought
conditions in the far north made him turn his
attention to the lower north, and for some time
he utilized his team in carting from Canowie
Station to Port Wakefield. and in taking slabs
and logs to the Burra Mine. In I865 he mar
ried Miss Ann Bacon (daughter of Mr Henrv
Bacon, of Spring Farm, Melrose) who 'was one
of the earliest of south Australia's colonists).
Mr. Challenger took up land in the Melrose
district from the late Hon. J. H. Angus. and
commenced farming: and although advancing
vears have compelled him to cease active par
ticipation to famiing, grazing-, or pastoral pur
suits, he still retains his interest in these ope
rations. He has alwavs had the welfare of
the town and district at heart. As Councillor
for Woniryarra Ward, in the district Council
of Port Germein, of which body he was Chair
man for several turns,- he rendered good ser
vice to the town and district -of Melrose. He
has held official positions in practically all the
organizations of the town, and was for many
years President of the ' Frome Jockey CIub,
and was the first President of the 'Mount Re
markable Agricultural Society. ' Mr. Challenger
is a foundation member of the Mount Remark
able Masonic Lodge, having joined the order aa
a member of the Areas (Laura) Lodge. His
wife died a few years ago.. Two of his sons,
Messrs. F. Challenger and H. E. Challenger,
reside in the same district. The former is a
farmer, and the latter is licencee- of the North
Star Hotel, Melrose. ... -

MELROSE
Mr Benjamin Chaliinger, sen., an old
resident, died at the residence of his daughter.
Mrs. Longhurst, from senile decay on the 4tli
inst. at the age of 82, having lived in Melrose
since 1859. He was a native of Yorkshire,
and at one time was largely engaged in the
boot trade at Sheffield, owning business
establishments in Gibraltar-street, West Bar,
and Change Alley in that town, and employing
200 men aud 70 women. He managed,
however, to get involved iu litigation about
the infringement of the Patent Act and sustained
severe losses iu damages and law costs.
He therefore disposed of his business and
emigrated iu 1851 with his wife and family
by tlie ship Ibemia to Victoria, and in 1852
arrived in this colony by the steamer Ilavelock.
He was one of twins, and his brother,
who was a soldier, died only about seven years
ago. His wife died some years ago. lie
leaves three sons, three daughters, 36 grandchildren,
aud 24 great-grandchildren. His
funeral, which was largely attended, took
place on the 5th, the Rev. C. H. Young
officiating.

It could well be thanks for that info i will do some research many thanks.
