Mr. Baldock of Adelaide
Head and shoulders view of Mr. Baldock, a pioneer member of the South Australian Telegraph Department in Adelaide. According to a researcher, this may be Albert Baldock who arrived with his parents, Robert and Susannah, as a thirteen year old in 1854 on the ship 'Evening Star'. Albert took up the profession of telegraph officer and worked at Goolwa around 1867-1869. According to his great-granddaughter, Albert was born on 25 January 1842 on Jersey, Channel Islands, to Col. Robert Walters Baldock and Susannah (Harden). The family arrived in South Australia on the Evening Star on 24 Nov 1854 and took up residence near Port Elliot. Albert commenced service with the South Australian Telegraph Department on 1 September 1855, possibly at Port Elliot. He was appointed to Goolwa as telegraph clerk on 1 June 1864, at the age of 22, and was married to Margaret Naomi Lush on 6 November 1865. In 1873 Albert was Telegraph Station Master at Blinman (Flinders Ranges) on the Overland Line to Darwin. He was a field officer, part of the team extending the telegraph line from Port Augusta to Eucla via Streaky Bay in 1875-6. On 1 December 1878 Albert was appointed by the Governor as Postmaster at Cape Borda on Kangaroo Island. Albert and Margaret's sixth and seventh children were born there. Albert's next appointment was at Meningie, from 1 May 1881 until his death on 2 April 1883 in Strathalbyn. The year after Albert's death, his daughter Catherine Susannah, known as Kate, was appointed to the Port Elliot Post Office and was transferred to Meadows in 1885 where she was postmistress until her marriage in 1887. Albert's son Albert Carey Baldock, known as Carey, was also employed as a telegraph officer - in Eucla, then Cossack and Broome in WA. Son Walter (Joseph Walters Baldock) was probably also employed in the Telegraph Department before his early death at the age of 22.

Inside Frank Albertoni's original dug-out house, Andamooka
View of the inside of Frank Albertoni's original dug-out house at Andamooka. The photographer comments on the house, "This house was one of the first to be built on the Andamooka Opal fields. It was begun in 1931, at the time of the first discoveries of opal at Andamooka and has seen little alteration or structural change since the time of its construction. The house was built by Mr. Frank Albertoni on a section 189 opposite the main area of town, and is set on the bank of the Opal Creek. Frank Albertoni came to Andamooka with his brother Andrew from Blinman in 1931. Together they worked as opal gougers in the German Gully area. Albertoni died in 1942 and Frank spent the rest of his life living and working in Andamooka. According to those who knew him, Frank Albertoni was a small energetic man who had a knack of improvising and making do - this house bears witness to that. The house was built on three levels and included a living room at the lower level, workshop in the central room and a sleepout on the upper level. The living room and workshop were built in 1931 and the sleepout was built in 1943. The walls are a combination of building techniques, including wattle and daub and dry laid stone construction. Native pine roof members and rafters support a hessian bag and canvas ceiling. The house has been white washed throughout and the floors have, in part, been paved with flagstone. An opal safe has been set into the south wall of the living room and on the opposite wall there is a large stone fireplace, the external flue having been manufactured from kerosene tins. The three rooms are not connected, and access is gained through external doors, the lower of which is protected by a pine and brush verandah. Interconnecting openings through the gable walls provide adequate ventilation."
