Adelaide Benevolent and Strangers' Friend Society (Elder Hall)
Heritage of the City of Adelaide ADELAIDE BENEVOLENT AND STRANGERS' FRIEND SOCIETY (ELDER HALL) 17 Morialta Street Elder Hall has considerable historical significance being identified with the Adelaide Benevolent and Strangers' Friend Society, founded in 1849. This society is reputedly the oldest secular philanthropic society, in South Australia, its chief work being to provide housing for the poor. The South Australian Register, 28 February 1849 described relief to the sick and indigent, especially among newly arrived immigrants; and promoting the moral and spiritual welfare of the recipients and their children. The article went on to point out that: It was formerly, said there were no poor in South Australia. This was perfectly true in the English sense of the word; but there was always room for the exercise of private charity" and now, we regret to say, owing to some injudicious selections of emigrants by the [Colonization] commissioners, and the uninvited and gratuitous influx of unsuitable colonists, who having managed to pay their own passages, land in a state of actual destitution, we have now a number of unexpected claimants for whom something must be done. In response the society stated that emigrants exhausted their meagre funds paying for necessaries in England for passage to the colony. Landing without means of support while they searched for work, they ' . .were reduced to great distress by their inability to pay the exorbitant weekly rents demanded for the most humble shelters' Often the society paid their rent for a short time and this assistance, together with rations from the Destitute Board, ' . enabled many deserving but indigent persons to surmount the unexpected and unavoidable difficulties attending their first arrival in a strange land', In 1981 the Advertiser reported that the society had just held its 131st annual meeting quietly, as usual, seldom making headlines, never running big television appeals. -

SA Australiana Study Group
SA Australiana Study Group 48th Meeting, 5th September 2019 We recommend readers to the Australiana Society website https://www.australiana.org.au/ and encourage membership. Attendance: 14 Portrait miniature of Robert Barr Smith (1824-1915), C 1904? Unsigned. 71.5 x 56 mm. Photographic portrait of Robert Barr Smith, 1904. Image B-7749, courtesy Collection of the State Library of South Australia Comparison with the State Library image suggests that the portrait miniature may have been painted from a photograph, rather than life. The painting on an ivory slip is unsigned, but is possibly by one of Adelaide’s Hambidge sisters, probably Alice (1869-1947), who was the best known of the three for painting in this format. Her sister Milly (Millicent 1872-1938) produced a large pastel of Robert’s son Tom in 1908. This miniature appears to have been held by descendants of Robert Barr Smith until recently. Robert Barr Smith was born in Renfrewshire, Scotland, educated at the University of Glasgow, and migrated to Australia in 1854. In Adelaide he married Joanna Elder in 1856, sister of Thomas (later Sir Thomas) Elder, with whom in 1863 Robert became sole partner in the firm of Elder Smith & Co. Between them they forged a vast empire of pastoral, mining, shipping and commercial interests. Both of the partners had a common interest in sports, particularly horse racing, and many trophies still remain carrying their names as either donors or winners. Similarly, both men were philanthropists, to the great benefit of Adelaide’s cultural, educational and religious life. 1 Silver dressing table box by Brunkhorst, Adelaide, c1894. -

Fantin-Latour in Australia
Ann Elias Fantin-Latour in Australia Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide 8, no. 2 (Autumn 2009) Citation: Ann Elias, “Fantin-Latour in Australia,” Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide 8, no. 2 (Autumn 2009), http://www.19thc-artworldwide.org/autumn09/fantin-latour-in-australia. Published by: Association of Historians of Nineteenth-Century Art. Notes: This PDF is provided for reference purposes only and may not contain all the functionality or features of the original, online publication. Elias: Fantin-Latour in Australia Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide 8, no. 2 (Autumn 2009) Fantin-Latour in Australia by Ann Elias Introduction Australia is described as "a country of immigration"[1] and its non-indigenous people as "a cutting from some foreign soil."[2] This is an apt metaphor for a postcolonial population cut from British stock, then transplanted to the Antipodes in the eighteenth century, and augmented, changed, and challenged throughout the nineteenth century by migrations of European (British and other) and Asian nationals. The floral metaphor can be extended by speaking of migration and settlement in terms of grafting, hybridizing, and acclimatizing. In the early part of the nineteenth century, settlers viewed the landscape of Australia— including all flora and fauna—as "wild and uncivilised, almost indistinguishable from the Indigenous inhabitants."[3] The introduction, therefore, of flora and fauna from Britain was an attempt "to induce an emotional bond between Australian colonies and the mother country." [4] So too was the importation of art and artifacts from Britain, France, and other European countries, which was a further effort to maintain ties with the Old World. -

What places become visible beyond the territorial definitions of British settler colony and 'White Australia'? What past geographies could we reconstruct through historical prose? From the 1860s there emerged a circuit of camels, ships and trains connecting Australian deserts to the Indian Ocean world and British Indian ports. -
Place Names of South Australia: W
W Some of our names have apparently been given to the places by drunken bushmen andfrom our scrupulosity in interfering with the liberty of the subject, an inflection of no light character has to be borne by those who come after them. SheaoakLog ispassable... as it has an interesting historical association connectedwith it. But what shall we say for Skillogolee Creek? Are we ever to be reminded of thin gruel days at Dotheboy’s Hall or the parish poor house. (Register, 7 October 1861, page 3c) Wabricoola - A property North -East of Black Rock; see pastoral lease no. 1634. Waddikee - A town, 32 km South-West of Kimba, proclaimed on 14 July 1927, took its name from the adjacent well and rock called wadiki where J.C. Darke was killed by Aborigines on 24 October 1844. Waddikee School opened in 1942 and closed in 1945. Aboriginal for ‘wattle’. ( See Darke Peak, Pugatharri & Koongawa, Hundred of) Waddington Bluff - On section 98, Hundred of Waroonee, probably recalls James Waddington, described as an ‘overseer of Waukaringa’. Wadella - A school near Tumby Bay in the Hundred of Hutchison opened on 1 July 1914 by Jessie Ormiston; it closed in 1926. Wadjalawi - A tea tree swamp in the Hundred of Coonarie, west of Point Davenport; an Aboriginal word meaning ‘bull ant water’. Wadmore - G.W. Goyder named Wadmore Hill, near Lyndhurst, after George Wadmore, a survey employee who was born in Plymouth, England, arrived in the John Woodall in 1849 and died at Woodside on 7 August 1918. W.R.
