BRG 42/5 Correspondence of the South Australian Company 1836–1851, 1855 __________________________________________________________________________________ BRG 42/5 Correspondence of the South Australian Company 1836–1851, 1855 Transcribed by Peter Anson, Volunteer at the State Library of South Australia, 2011 [Beginning with the Solway in 1837, and continuing until 1864, there were some 108 emigrant ship departures from Bremen/ Hamburg in Germany (then Prussia) bound for Port Adelaide. By 1855 German emigrants and their children already constituted over 8% of the population of South Australia. Under the auspices of an association between George Fife Angas, a founding Director and Chair of the South Australian Company (based in London), and Pastor August Kavel, a deposed and exiled Lutheran Minister, the first wave of a diaspora of Prussian Lutherans escaping persecution in their homeland had been facilitated to sail to South Australia in the Bengalee and the Prince George in 1838. Included in this series is an extract of correspondence dated 1838 from Edmund J Wheeler (original Manager of the South Australian Company) regarding the departure of the Bengalee, which contains a reference to Robert V. Swaine, the Company’s agent at Hamburg. Also included in this series are extracts of later correspondence from 1844 to 1849 between Robert V. Swaine and David McLaren (after McLaren’s transfer from Adelaide to London to be Manager of the South Australian Company based there) and between David McLaren and another principal character, Edward Delius, the Company’s Agent in Bremen who toured southeastern Germany garnering interest and facilitating the emigration of large numbers of Silesian Lutherans.

    South Australian HERITAGE COUNCIL SUMMARY OF STATE HERITAGE PLACE REGISTER ENTRY Entry in the South Australian Heritage Register in accordance with the Heritage Places Act 1993 NAME: Rosetta Head Well and Whaling Station Site PLACE NO.: 26454 ADDRESS: Franklin Parade, Encounter Bay, SA 5211 Uncovered well 23 November 2017 Site works complete June 2019 Source DEW Source DEW Cultural Safety Warning Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples should be aware that this document may contain images or names of people who have since passed away. STATEMENT OF HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE The Rosetta Head Well and Whaling Station Site is on the lands and waters of the Ramindjeri people of the lower Fleurieu Peninsula, who are a part of the Ngarrindjeri Nation. The site represents a once significant early industry that no longer exists in South Australia. Founded by the South Australian Company in 1837 and continually operating until 1851, it was the longest-running whaling station in the State. It played an important role in the establishment of the whaling industry in South Australia as a prototype for other whaling stations and made a notable contribution to the fledgling colony’s economic development. The Rosetta Head Whaling Station is also an important contact site between European colonists and the Ramindjeri people. To Ramindjeri people, the whale is known as Kondli (a spiritual being), and due to their connection and knowledge, a number of Ramindjeri were employed at the station as labourers and boat crews. Therefore, Rosetta Head is one of the first places in South Australia where European and Aboriginal people worked side by side.

    The River Torrens—friend and foe Part 2: The river as an obstacle to be crossed RICHARD VENUS Richard Venus BTech, BA, GradCertArchaeol, MIE Aust is a retired electrical engineer who now pursues his interest in forensic heritology, researching and writing about South Australia’s engineering heritage. He is Chairman of Engineering Heritage South Australia and Vice President of the History Council of South Australia. His email is [email protected] Beginnings In Part 1 we looked the River Torrens as a friend—a source of water vital to the establishment of the new settlement. However, in common with so many other European settlements, the developing community very quickly polluted its own water supply and another source had to be found. This was still the River Torrens but the water was collected in the Torrens Gorge, about 13 kilometres north-east of the City, and piped down Payneham Road to the Valve House in the East Parklands. Water from this source was first made available in December 1860 as reported in the South Australian Advertiser on 26 December. The significant challenge presented by the Torrens was getting across it. In summer, when the river was little more than a series of pools, you could just walk across. However, there must have been a significant body of water somewhere – probably in the vicinity of today’s weir – because in July 1838 tenders were called ‘For the rent for six months of the small punt on the Torrens for foot passengers, for each of whom a toll of one penny will be authorised to be charged from day-light to dark, and two pence after dark’ (Register 28 July).

  • Paper Risk Management and Future-Proofing Adelaide FIG Working Week 2016 Kelly HENDERSON, Australia
    Light Years Ahead: The Role of Design, Survey and Land Management in This is a Peer ReviewedDisaster Paper Risk Management and Future-Proofing Adelaide FIG Working Week 2016 Kelly HENDERSON, Australia Key words: Spatial planning, Risk management, Historical surveys, Land management SUMMARY Colonel William Light, South Australia’s first Surveyor-General, designed a remarkable spatial layout for the District of Adelaide with great resolve, against concerted opposition. Withstanding sustained attack for his site selection and separation of the City and Port of Adelaide, he applied experience gained during military service in the British Royal Navy and as a reconnaissance officer and Deputy Assistant Quartermaster General in Wellington’s Army in the Iberian Peninsula. Modern scientific modelling indicates Light’s determination to place urban form on rising ground clear of areas liable to inundation future-proofed the City, guarding it from disasters such as dambreak and probable maximum flood. Providing ongoing benefit and inspiration, his sustainable framework set a benchmark for disaster risk management more than one and a half centuries before the River Torrens Flood Inundation Mapping Study recommended identical measures to reduce future flood damage. This paper considers Light’s disaster risk minimisation design methodology, trigonometrical survey establishing the District’s spatial layout, and details of the original triangulation of the Adelaide Plains, watercourses, reserves and Port Adelaide River.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Flinders Academic Commons Rethinking Modern Architecture – Caroline Cosgrove Rethinking Modern Architecture: HASSELL’s Contribution to the Transformation of Adelaide’s Twentieth Century Urban Landscape Caroline Cosgrove Abstract There has been considerable academic, professional and community interest in South Australia’s nineteenth century built heritage, but less in that of the state’s twentieth century. Now that the twenty-first century is in its second decade, it is timely to attempt to gain a clearer historical perspective on the twentieth century and its buildings. The architectural practice HASSELL, which originated in South Australia in 1917, has established itself nationally and internationally and has received national peer recognition, as well as recognition in the published literature for its industrial architecture, its education, airport, court, sporting, commercial and performing arts buildings, and the well-known Adelaide Festival Centre. However, architectural historians have generally overlooked the practice’s broader role in the development of modern architecture until recently, with the acknowledgement of its post-war industrial work.1 This paper explores HASSELL’s contribution to the development of modern architecture in South Australia within the context of growth and development in the twentieth century. It examines the need for such studies in light of heritage considerations and presents an overview of the firm’s involvement in transforming the urban landscape in the city and suburbs of Adelaide. Examples are given of HASSELL’s mid-twentieth century industrial, educational and commercial buildings. This paper has been peer reviewed 56 FJHP – Volume 27 ‐2011 Figure 1: Adelaide’s urban landscape with the Festival Centre in the middle distance.

  • Understanding the Reasons Behind the Failure of Wakefield's Systematic Colonization in South
    When Colonization Goes South: Understanding the Reasons Behind the Failure of Wakefield’s Systematic Colonization in South Australia Edwyna Harris Monash University Sumner La Croix* University of Hawai‘i 3 December 2018 Abstract Britain after the Napoleonic wars saw the rise of colonial reformers, such as Edward Wakefield, who had extensive influence on British colonial policy. A version of Wakefield’s “System of Colonization” became the basis for an 1834 Act of Parliament establishing the South Australia colony. We use extended versions of Robert Lucas’s 1990 model of a colonial economy to illustrate how Wakefield’s institutions were designed to work. Actual practice followed some of Wakefield’s principles to the letter, with revenues from SA land sales used to subsidize passage for more than 15,000 emigrants over the 1836-1840 period. Other principles, such as surveying land in advance of settlement and maintaining a sufficient price of land, were ignored. Initial problems stemming from delays in surveying and a dysfunctional division of executive authority slowed the economy’s development over its first three years and led to a financial crisis. These difficulties aside, we show that actual SA land institutions were more aligned with geographic and political conditions in SA than the ideal Wakefield institutions and that the SA colony thrived after it took measures to speed surveying and reform its system of divided executive authority.
