Henry Scott Harden (11 December 1834[1] – 10 March 1879) was a Member of the Queensland Legislative Council.[2]
Harden was born in Ghent, Belgium in 1834 to Nathaniel Harden and his wife Margaret (née Miller). He arrived in New South Wales in 1852 and began doing pastoral work on Walker's Station in Twofold Bay. He purchased Northampton Downs which was based on the Barcoo River but he had to endure many hardships and decided to sell the property and return to England.
