  • 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).

Institutionalisation of Aborigines, under the guise of assimilation and protection policies, was only abandoned in.the lg7Os. It is therefore important to understand the implications of these policies for Aborigines and Australian society in general. I investigate the affect of institutionalisation on Aborigines, questioning the assumption tl.at they were passive victims forced onto missions and government stations and kept there as virtual prisoners.

  • The University of Adelaide Press John Jefferson Bray
    2731 THE UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE PRESS JOHN JEFFERSON BRAY: A BIOGRAPHY BY DR JOHN EMERSON FOREWORD The Hon. Michael Kirby AC CMG THE UNIVERSITY OF ADELIADE PRESS JOHN JEFFERSON BRAY: A BIOGRAPHY BY DR JOHN EMERSON FOREWORD The Hon. Michael Kirby AC CMG* John Jefferson Bray served with distinction as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of South Australia from 1967 to 1978 and as Chancellor of the University of Adelaide from 1968 to 1983. He derived from a distinguished colonial family. He was educated in expensive boarding schools. He won a rare doctorate of laws degree for research on aspects of insolvency and private international law. He took silk at an appropriate age. He appeared in lots of important cases, including in the High Court of Australia. For a time he served as deputy to the Lieutenant Governor of his State. On the face of things, the reader might think that someone who had followed this golden path to high judicial office and public service would be worthy; but unlikely to have lived a life that would set the pulse racing. However, as John Emerson’s new biography shows, Bray, whilst being an outstanding lawyer and judge, was anything but a stereotype. Especially in his time and place, South Australia in the second half of the twentieth century, Bray was unique: a one off. The central interest of this biography lies in unravelling the puzzle of how such a gifted legal scholar, advocate and judge could, at the same time, live a life that so outraged the orthodox expectations that ascended upon him.

  • The Adelaide Law School 1883-1983
    THE ADELAIDE LAW SCHOOL 1883-1983 by Victor Allen Edgeloe Dr Edgeloe, Registrar Emeritus of the University of Adelaide, was Secretary of the Faculty of Law from 1927 to 1948, and Registrar from 1955 to 1973. Since his retirement Dr Edgeloe has written an account of the foundation and development of the Faculties of Law, Medicine and Music. His aim was, as he states in the preface, "to provide an administrator's history of the birth of the University's schools of law, medicine and music" which '%umrnarises the relevant records of the University and the relevant comments of the public press of the day". The manuscript is held in the Barr Smith Library. It shows Dr Edgeloe's love of, and devotion to, the University which he served for forty-six years. The Adelaide Law Review Association is grateful to him for permission to include his history of the Law School in this collection of essays. The Beginnings In the 1870's the Province of South Australia was a pioneering community which was expanding rapidly in numbers and in area occupied. There was a clear need for a growing body of well-trained lawyers. The existing arrangements for the training of lawyers involved simply the satisfactory completion of a five-year apprenticeship with a legal practitioner (technically designated "service in articles") and the passing of a small range of examinations conducted by the Supreme Court. University teaching in law was available in the United Kingdom and had also been established in Melbourne.' The South Australian Parliament envisaged a similar development here for it empowered the University from its foundation in 1874 to confer degrees in law and thus give the University a major role in the training of members of the legal profession within the Province.
