Clare, the old gum tree
[General description] Clare, the old gum tree. Sturdy gum tree with a wide girth in a rural setting. A water tank and fences can be seen in the photograph. [On back of photograph] Situated on the bank of the Hutt River to the right of the Clare Brewery, looking south. It was under this tree that the pioneer of Clare, E.B. Gleeson, pitched his tent. He had a retinue of Hindu servants, one of whom was named Gongo, an expert axeman who chopped out a kind of easy chair in the trunk. Above it is the incision that held one end of the ridge pole of his tent, now calloused over. There are many pleasant memories attached to the old tree. A limb now fallen and lying to the right, was often used by the daughters of widow Nolan on Sunday afternoons, for fixing swings for the pleasure of the children who had no Sunday School to attend. Near it on the left was Gleeson's waterhole, where the youths of Clare learned to swim.

Boot Shop, Port Elliot
D. Golding's boot shop, Port Elliot. The proprietor and his family and workers are standing outside the Port Elliot Boot Makers. The building stands alone with sapling fences either side. One side of the shop is possibly the Golding house. David Golding was born in Cambridge, England, and departed Plymouth on Friday 1 July 1853 and arrived in Port Adelaide, South Australia on Wednesday 12 October 1853 on board the 'Standard', along with his brother Stephen. He settled in Port Elliot and established a business as a bootmaker and in 1857 married Mary Ann Barker; together they had seven children. The family journeyed north and established a farm and later a general store at Laura, South Australia. Mary Ann Golding died in 1890, aged 62 years, and David Golding died in 1903, aged 73 years, and left one daughter living, Mrs J. Bowering of Petersburg, along with six grandchildren. The following information was provided by a family member: David Golding was born with a deformed foot so he learnt how to make boots so he could have shoes to fit himself. He later moved to Laura when his wife developed tuberculosis, the doctor advising they move to a drier climate. A few of their children died during the trip north. The young boy on the right may be David's son David Laurence Golding.
