Wilton Hack
Wilton Hack (21 May 1843 – 27 February 1923) was an Australian artist, traveller, lecturer and utopist with interests in Theosophy and Eastern cultures.
==Early life==
He was born in Echunga, South Australia the son of Stephen Hack and Elizabeth Marsh Hack (née Wilton). The colony of South Australia had just gone through a financial crisis during which Stephen and his brother John Barton Hack lost their considerable fortunes. Unlike his brother, whose various business ventures never amounted to much, Stephen was able to attain a modest level of affluence. Wilton studied at J. L. Young's Adelaide Educational Institution in 1855〔http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article49293277〕 and 1856,〔http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article49746338〕 then (perhaps because of the promise he had shown) was sent to his Quaker grandparents in Gloucester, England to further his education at Sandbach Grammar School in Cheshire and the University of Heidelberg, Germany. He returned to Australia in 1865 to assist his father with his sheep station on the Long Desert, and took up a selection which he named Pinnaroo,〔(Obituary ) ''The Advertiser'' p.8 accessed 12 September 2011〕 but was forced off it by the drought of 1865 – 1867. He found employment as a drawing teacher at his old school Adelaide Educational Institution, at Prince Alfred College, Thomas Caterer's Norwood Grammar School and Frederick Caterer's Glenelg Grammar School.〔
