The first LDS missionary to Australia was William Barrett who was called as a missionary from England in 1840. The mission was officially opened in 1851 and the first branch was organized in Melbourne in 1852. In 1853 a new mission president arrived with ten elders and the work moved forward. In the beginning years converts tended to emigrate to Utah so the Church grew slowly. | The first LDS missionary to Australia was William Barrett who was called as a missionary from England in 1840.
