At the age of 22 he left England on 1 May 1822 on the Minerva and arrived at Hobart Town on 18 October 1822. Michael moved to New South Wales and worked for a time for Jonathan Hassall at Matavie Farm at the junction of Cobbity Creek and the Nepean River. On 15 Aug 1826 Michael married Cecilia Sophia Rutter (a former teacher at the Female Orphan School at Parramatta). Michael was granted 640 acres of land in what is now known as Gerringong in 1827 (Michael was one of the early settlers of the Illawarra region). In the period 1848-1851 the Hindmarsh family built a permanent house at their property in Gerringong which they named Alne Bank. The house still stands and is still owned by the Hindmarsh family, direct descendants of Michael and Cecilia. Michael died at Alne Bank on 25 Jan 1867 and is buried in family cemetery there.
