State heritage-listed Schubert House, at Springhead near Mt Torrens, turns 150 this year, and the occasion has been planned down to the last detail. Guests will receive recipes with their invitations, asking that they bring German food reminiscent of the era. A musicologist friend will plan the music program for the event but no prizes for guessing the theme. Christian Schubert himself is expected to attend, complete with costume and accent, courtesy of an actor-friend. Johann Christian Schubert arrived in South Australia from Germany in the mid-1840s, marrying Eleanore Zeunert in about 1847 and buying land in the Springhead district for the standard price of one Pound per acre. Built in 1855, Schubert House is a substantial German-style dwelling Stephanie Walker, front garden, Schubert House which has most of its original 1850s features intact, most notably its She also had a friend who had broken Flurkuchenhaus or passage kitchen her leg who needed an outing so house; a large central cooking hall decided to combine the two. with its substantial fireplace located “The house broke all the rules for just inside the front door of the house. presentation for sale,” Stephanie Although the house’s previous owners recalls. “It was freezing cold and quite were responsible for much of the uninviting.” conservation work on the house, It’s hard to picture now.

It was 1994 when Stephanie saw the house advertised and thought it a great chance to have a peek inside a slice of South Australian history. 3 Researching Your Property Ever wondered when your property was built? How many owners it has had? There is a wide range of resources available to help you find out. A good starting point for all properties is the Lands Titles Office (LTO). Although Certificates of Title indicate ownership of land and not the existence of structures on it, they may help narrow down a date of construction or establish the history of ownership of your property. Starting with your current Certificate of Title, you will be able to trace back through all the previous Titles for the property to find out who previous owners were. This task may also give clues as to when the house was constructed: a real estate agent may sell one of a number of allotments to an individual owner, suggesting a construction date after this time. The South Australian Directories or Almanacs, published between 1839 and 1973, are held by the State Library and State Records, and are useful for listing occupiers of buildings and residents of localities. They evolved to Dwelling (‘Vale House’), Levi park, 69 Landsdowne Terrace, Vale Park.

She wanted feedback from stakeholders by 18 April. Under the proposals, newspaper groups and radio groups could be acquired by free-to-air TV networks and vice-versa – and so, Nine, for instance, could buy John Fairfax Holdings, and News Ltd could buy Channel 10. Free-to-air channels would face competition from emerging digital TV players. Senator Coonan said the cross-media and foreign ownership restrictions would be removed by 2007 or 2012, but the Government would require at least five “commercial media groups” to remain in metropolitan markets and four in regional markets. Extensive coverage of the Coonan proposals was provided in, for example, the Australian of 15 March (pp.1, 6, 7, 13, 31, 34) and 16 March (pp.2, 14, 17, 19, 22 and 25) and the Australian Financial Review of 15 March (pp.1, 11, 14, 28, 47, 48, 49, 57, 59 and 60).

  • Historic Earthquake Studies-Safinal
    Historical earthquakes in South Australia Kevin McCue CQU Rockhampton, Queensland Abstract Three earthquakes have etched themselves into the collective memories of South Australians, the damaging 1897 Kingston-Beachport, 1902 (so-called) Warooka and 1954 Adelaide earthquakes but thousands more earthquakes in SA have been recorded since 1954, or were reported before the first seismograph was installed in Adelaide on 26 June 1909. The 1902 and 1954 earthquakes damaged buildings in Adelaide as did an earthquake in 1840 just after the city was born. Chimneys in Burra were knocked down in an earthquake in 1896. On average, between one and two earthquakes per month are reported felt in South Australia today (Alison Wallace – pers. comm.), but only half of these would be reported by the media which is a useful yardstick for historical studies such as this report. Several hundred earthquakes felt in Australia have been documented in three volumes of the Isoseismal Atlas of Australia and by Malpas (1993) and others but sources have not yet been exhausted as is demonstrated with new information on 51 felt earthquakes, many of which have not had a magnitude and location tabulated before. An earthquake in 1911 previously assigned to the Eyre Peninsula has been relocated to Gulf St Vincent, an example of an interesting feature of SA seismicity; the occasional almost simultaneous occurrence of earthquakes in different parts of the state. The combined Modified Mercalli intensity dataset has been used to make an earthquake hazard assessment for Adelaide, the result is in the same ballpark as that of Christchurch New Zealand, of the order of a thousand years return period for a destructive earthquake.
