Gouger's hut and tent at Glenelg. After a sketch by J. M. Skipper: "The government was proclaimed at this tent on December 28th, 1836. The trees are eucalyptus, that resembling the Banian tree of India was blown nearly down when young by the strong winds which during winter blow upon the eastern coast of the Gulf. There are many trees wearing this appearance on the plains". For more information please see Library Staff.
