James Busby
James Busby (7 February 1801 - 15 July 1871) was involved in the drafting of the Treaty of Waitangi and is widely regarded as the "father" of the Australian wine industry, as he took the first collection of vine stock from Spain and France to Australia. He was born in Scotland, the son of English engineer John Busby, and the family emigrated from Britain to New South Wales in 1824.
