Cobdogla Station homestead
Trussell family members outside Cobdogla Station Homestead, including Mary Ann and several of her children. Her husband James Trussell was the Manager of Cobdogla Station, which was owned by the Chambers Brothers of Adelaide. Note the thatched roof of the homestead. From information provided by a family member, the people in this image standing and sitting (centre) are: Helena Maud, Jessie Mary , Annie Eliza , Isabel Kirwin Trussell, George James and Albert Murray Trussell. Of the two ladies to the right of the photo, the older lady (in grey) is Mary Ann Trussell (nee Thomas), wife of James Trussell (Manager of the Chambers Bros property known as Cobdogla Station) and the mother of the 6 younger people. The lady in black standing alongside Mrs Trussell is Olive Maud Thomas (niece of Mrs Trussell). The Cobdogla Station Homestead was built on land originally taken up by John Chambers before any official surveys were made of the area. In some of his explorations, John McDouall Stuart used and valued horses bred at Cobdogla station, including on his sixth and final expedition of 1861-62. This expedition crossed the continent from south to north, and much of this route was later used for the path of the Overland Telegraph Line. The Cobdogla horses were branded half-circle C. The whitewashed buildings are thatched and are surrounded by a picket fence. There are outhouses and a large chimney at one end of the homestead.
Cobdogla homestead
Cobdogla homestead. The buildings are newer than the thatched roofed structures from the original 1846 homestead (see B 7834). A researcher has suggested that due to the water surrounding the homestead this photograph may have been taken during the 1956 floods of the Murray River. However B 27102 shows the flood waters at a much higher level in 1956. Therefore, this photograph may have been taken during a flood in the first half of the twentieth century, possibly during the 1906 or 1909 floods. Much of the land from west of Overland Corner through to New South Wales was taken up by a pastoral lease in 1846 by John Chambers who raised purebred horses for the police and military. It was first settled as a pastoral base in 1851. John Chambers died in 1889

Currency Creek
Old mill, Currency Creek worked by Daniel Myrrick in 1863. According to local legend an illicit still was at one time operated in an underground chamber. The mill has alternatively been referred to as Myrick's Mill or Claughton's Mill. Daniel Myrick was seen at Currency Creek or Goolwa by 1855 whereas Daniel Merrett's family are said to have arrived in Goolwa in 1862. Both were involved in ship building. The mill later became a steam driven sawmill. Daniel Myrick has been listed as a carpenter as well as a ship builder. The mill produced flour from wheat in 1868 and that was loaded onto steamers on the nearby Lower Murray.
Dashwood Gully
Fernhill, property of Henry Field, brother of Lieut. Field (of the Rapid), and son in law of Commander F. Servante, the original owner of the property. Fernhill, at Dashwood Gully, built by Commander Frederick (P.F.) Servante 1861-2. The following verse appears under the artwork: 'Fond are the memories that bring thee nigh / E'en now unto my heart I with pleasure I / Recall thy circle of dear friends, and still / Ne'er cease to think of thee with love. Fernhill'. In 1884 Mrs Henry Field was in possession of Ferntree (nee Mary Servante). Captain Frederick Servante (1798-1872) arrived in the "Murray" in 1861 and during 1961-62 built a home in Dashwood Gully calling it Fernhill. The name originated in Essex, England and the house and gardens offered respite from the dust and mosquitoes in the middle of the Adelaide summer. The photograph shows a large home partially hidden behind trees and surounded by hills. A rough road passes up the gully.
