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.
Small craft near Port Wakefield wharf
Identified by Searcy as being at Goolwa (with seamen are standing near a small steam train). A. Presgrave believes it is more likely to be either Port Pirie or Port Wakefield, based on the fact that the locomotive is a V class which was narrow 3 foot 6 inch gauge whilst all railways at Goolwa are broad 5 foot 3 inch. Another researcher also believes this is a Port Wakefield view. A third researcher agrees that this is Port Wakefield wharf, and the locomotive a NG V class shunting loco. It is trailing a water gin wagon as water storage on the loco itself was limited. Johnston,s store is in middle foreground, with wheat bag storage sheds along the wharf in the distance.
