Dont think he got around quite that much, mate. "William Light" the founder of Adelaide was the illegitimate son of a liaison between said Francis Light and his Portugee mistress. William was born of their union in Malaysia and was educated in UK and joined the Brtish army. He was sent out to found the colony of Adelaide some years after his papa's demise.
