The story of the Aubreys of Penrith, NSW, Australia, echoes a rich lineage that traces back to Brecon, Wales. It is steeped in folklore, with tales of ancestral soldiers who fought alongside William the Conqueror and a mysterious abbey bearing their name.

Among the intriguing characters is the long-lost uncle, John Aubrey, the famed Antiquarian.  Central to the narrative is David Aubrey and his wife, Elizabeth Masters, who gave birth to the first Australian-born Aubreys.

Their courage in leaving their ancestral home in Wales in search of opportunity paved the way for future generations. The sacrifices and adventures of David and Elizabeth are integral to the Aubrey legacy, reminding us that without their bold decision, the Aubreys of Penrith might never have existed in the fortunate land of Australia. This chapter of their story reflects both their heritage and the families they left behind in Wales.
