    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).

Built on a medium sized city allotment, the reinforced concrete rendered building has strong vertical façade surmounted by projecting cornice with brackets and central protruding bay with elaborate pediment treatment with brackets beneath the cornice and recessed balcony on fifth floor. Façade articulated by metal panels to window widths and metal framed windows. Strongly coursed vertical pilasters which vertically divide façade. Cantilevered awning. Major alterations at ground floor level. Francis Street façade of unadorned render. Basement windows evident. The assessment includes the whole of the building, with particular attention to the detailing of the western elevation: it also includes an appropriate relationship between interior floors and external features such as windows and doors. The assessment does not include detailing to southern eastern and northern elevations, alterations to the ground floor shopfront, the cantilevered verandah, nor interiors. STATEMENT OF HERITAGE VALUE: The building is of heritage value as a prominent work of architect Philip Claridge with its fine detailing in Classical Revival style, because it retains original fabric and for the manner in which it reflects the changed nature of commercial activity in Gawler Place.

After six turbulent years, the disCovery of two large deposits of copper at Kapunda (1843/1844) and Burra (1844/1845) renewed the Colony’s eConomic prospeCts. Over the 1845-1850 period, SA supplied 8-9 perCent of the world’s Copper production. Immigration to SA from Britain soared, with the colony’s population more than tripling between 1844 and 1851. We augment the Beine et al. (2015) model of an eConomy with a booming resource seCtor to inCorporate endogenous immigration, and use its comparative statics to frame our empiriCal investigation of the boom’s effects on the export of other traded goods and worker living standards. Using newly developed SA wage and priCe series for this period, we find modest increases in SA living standards, inCreases in the export of wool and wheat, and a larger share of the labor forCe working in the non-traded goods seCtor. Finally, we conclude that the decision by Governor Grey to forCe broad ownership of the “monster” Burra mine and the use of rents from the booming seCtor to subsidize immigration helped SA avoid the Corruption and rent-seeking assoCiated with other resourCe booms.

It is a record of the colourful characters and individuals who have contributed so much to the development of our City. This entertaining booklet paints a picture of a community that is proud of its past and positive about its future; a community that welcomes and embraces people whose luck in life has run out and a community that includes many, very successful businesses and individuals. The Historic South West Corner booklet is a project initiated by the South West Community Network. The Network was instigated and is supported by Adelaide City Council. The Council encourages active engagement of local communities in City life and in making decisions about their neighbourhood. A method of accomplishing this is through the development of local projects such as the production of this booklet. The booklet presents a history of the South West Corner of the City that will inspire people to think of this area as an interesting place to live, work and visit. I hope that you will enjoy reading this exciting, factual and humorous account of how the South West community of the past created a great community spirit of the present.

    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.
