Cobdogla Station homestead
Trussell family members outside Cobdogla Station Homestead, including Mary Ann and several of her children. Her husband James Trussell was the Manager of Cobdogla Station, which was owned by the Chambers Brothers of Adelaide. Note the thatched roof of the homestead. From information provided by a family member, the people in this image standing and sitting (centre) are: Helena Maud, Jessie Mary , Annie Eliza , Isabel Kirwin Trussell, George James and Albert Murray Trussell. Of the two ladies to the right of the photo, the older lady (in grey) is Mary Ann Trussell (nee Thomas), wife of James Trussell (Manager of the Chambers Bros property known as Cobdogla Station) and the mother of the 6 younger people. The lady in black standing alongside Mrs Trussell is Olive Maud Thomas (niece of Mrs Trussell). The Cobdogla Station Homestead was built on land originally taken up by John Chambers before any official surveys were made of the area. In some of his explorations, John McDouall Stuart used and valued horses bred at Cobdogla station, including on his sixth and final expedition of 1861-62. This expedition crossed the continent from south to north, and much of this route was later used for the path of the Overland Telegraph Line. The Cobdogla horses were branded half-circle C. The whitewashed buildings are thatched and are surrounded by a picket fence. There are outhouses and a large chimney at one end of the homestead.

Horseshoe Hotel, Noarlunga
Horseshoe Hotel, Noarlunga was built in the 1840's on a horseshoe shaped portion of the Onkaparinga River. No-orlunga is from the Aboriginal word for fishing place and the old inn was known for organising fishing parties on the tidal river. It also had the reputation as a watering hole for smugglers bringing their alcohol and tobacco from wrecks in the Gulf. The Horseshoe Inn was also a staging post for coaches and bullock teams from Adelaide. According to a researcher, the man to the left of the photo holding the horse reins is John Charles Dungey, proprietor from 1887-1889 and again from 1893-1914 and the girls are likely to be his daughters.
