Isaac Scott Nind, surgeon attached to the 39th Dorsetshire Regiment, probably returned to Sydney from King George Sound Settlement in 1831. He had been in Western Australia for five years, after arriving on the Amity on Christmas Day 1826 to assist in forming a settlement.

Commander of the expedition to King George Sound in 1826 was Major Edmund Lockyer and on board the Amity were Dr. Nind and other members of the 39th Regiment as well as 24 convicts. Gardens were commenced at the settlement and fresh water was abundant. Timber was in great variety and found to be similar to that found around Port Jackson. Limestone, granite and iron stone was also available. Fish, Kangaroo, black swans, wild geese and ducks were abundant. The natives were found to be shy and cautious but good natured and the climate exceedingly pleasant and free from hot winds.

On return to New South Wales in 1831 Dr. Nind settled in Paterson. He opened a chemist store in Paterson in 1846.

Isaac Scott Nind died in 1868
