"Thousands of people witnessed the 'swim through Adelaide' on Saturday afternoon. The weather was ideal for the race, although the water was rather cold. Seventy-five competitors lined up at the weir at 3.30 o'clock. ... The finishing post was at the rear of the Jubilee Oval" The Observer newspaper 25 January 1919, page 24.
