Chisholm proposed the construction of shelters for people travelling to the goldfields, a project which received support from the government. Chisholm also campaigned for land to be made available so that migrant families could establish small farms, a move Chisholm saw as providing able to provide greater stability in the colonies.
The Chisholm family moved to Sydney in 1857, and back to England in 1866. Caroline Chisholm died in 1877.
