Mr and Mrs Daly

c. 1875, Photograph, B 7758

Dominick Daniel Daly, nephew of Governor Daly, with his wife Harriet (nee Douglas). Harriet was the daughter of William Douglas (who was a resident of Darwin from 1870) and married Daly in the early 1870s. Harriet's family arrived in Darwin in 1870 onboard 'Gulnare'. Dominick's family arrived on the same day on board 'Bengal'. He was a surveyor with Goyder's Expedition of 1869. The couple returned to Darwin where Dominick worked for the Engineer-in-Chief. They moved to the Malay States. Dominick died in Borneo in 1889. Harriet returned to England and became a correspondent for the Sydney Morning Herald. A researcher has stated that this is not Mr and Mrs Daly: 'The studio imprint verso shows Crawford as manager of the Adelaide Photographic Co. This was the case from its inception in January 1864 to when he left in December 1866. So the carte must likely date to the mid 1860s. Harriet Douglas (born 1854) did not marry Dominic Daniel Daly until October 1871'.

"Lady Daly" River Steamer

Burnell, G., 1862, Photograph, B 12661

[General description] Side view of 'P.S. Lady Daly' raising 'S.W. Settler', at Settlers Bend, near Renmark. Both are sternwheelers. The "Settler' owned by P.W. Jackson and Alexander Murray, was built at Fletcher's Slip at Port Adelaide. At 167 feet long including the wheel, she proved far too long to negotiate the many twists of the upper river. After just one season she was taken off the rivers. The 'Lady Daly' built by the same owners was 112 feet plus wheel and served with success until the 1890s [On back of photograph] 'The date of the picture is stated to be 1862 / Information supplied by H.
