  • The River Torrens—Friend and Foe Part 2
    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).

  • Written Submission in Response to the Regional Development Strategy Discussion Paper
    25 July 2019 Regions SA Re: Regional Development Strategy Discussion Paper Primary Industries and Regions SA GPO Box 1671 Adelaide, SA 5001 Dear Sir/Madam, Re: Regional Development Strategy consultation On behalf of Tatiara District Council, I am pleased to make a written submission in response to the Regional Development Strategy discussion paper. Diverse regions The Tatiara is a prosperous and innovative district, boasting a diverse agricultural base, including grains and stock, vineyards, small seeds, flowers, vegetables and olives, and strong businesses like Bordertown’s JBS Australia or Keith’s Master Butchers Co-operative Ltd (MBL). Our district has proven fertile ground for entrepreneurs like Tatiara Truck & Trailers, the second largest truck repair and maintenance business in South Australia, or Keith Timber Group, a dominant player in the South Australian frame and truss, timber and hardware markets, with sites located in Adelaide, Keith, Murray Bridge and Naracoorte. Other exciting ventures are just emerging, like Good Country Hemp’s hemp processing plant, or Blue Lake Milling’s anaerobic digester converting oat husks into electricity. We are in the enviable position of having run out of space at our industrial estates in Bordertown and Keith, and are in the process of opening stage 3 of the Bordertown Industrial Estate. Stage 2 of the Keith Industrial Estate will follow this year. At a time that Australia welcomes an unemployment rate of 5.1% we have an unemployment rate of 1.7%, meaning that our businesses have to bring in significant labour from outside the region to fill vacancies. However, if there is one thing that we, like many other regions, are failing to do, it is to promote this diversity and the exciting story of our entrepreneurs and opportunities.

  • 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.
