Abstract
In 1883 John Edward Redmond, future leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party, toured the Australasian colonies on behalf of the Irish National League. Redmond's ten‐month mission in Australia and New Zealand proved influential in shaping both his political outlook and personal life. This article traces Redmond's visit to the colonies, from the discord that marked the opening stages of the mission through to the more amenable atmosphere at the time of his departure, and demonstrates how the 1883 tour significantly affected Redmond's experience of the British empire and his vision for Ireland's future.
