One branch of the Spong family began to grow in the early 1900s, when the first members made the long journey from England in search of new opportunities and a new life. Over the decades, more Spongs followed, establishing families and communities across Australia. Today, the Australian Spongs are spread throughout the country, proudly carrying on the family name while maintaining strong connections to their English roots. As each new generation adds its own chapter, the story of the Spong family in Australia continues to grow.
Our family, the creators of this site, are based in Perth, Western Australia, where we have proudly called home for many years. Like many Australian families, our roots stretch far beyond our current home, with generations of history, experiences, and stories connecting us to different parts of the world. Through this website, we're preserving our family's memories, documenting our travels, celebrating milestones, and recording the everyday moments that make family life so special. We hope this site becomes a lasting legacy, allowing future generations of the Spong family to discover where they came from, learn about those who came before them, and stay connected with relatives both near and far.
Australians don't say "I'm going for a walk." - We say, "I'm just going for a wander and hopefully avoiding anything that can kill me"
