Hindley Street, Adelaide, showing a busy street scene. Horse riders, carriages, drays, pedestrians and dogs all amble along the street at a leisurely pace. On the right is Neale's Auction Mart, which has recently been completed. It was erected in 1844. [see South Australian Register, September 7, 1844.] The building on the left, with the verandah, is the Office for the weekly newspaper, the Adelaide Observer. Next to it can be seen the white sign of the Register's Office. This daily newspaper had been issued from that site from June 30th, 1845.
