Yelta Mine, Moonta
[General description] This is a copy of an illustrated article appearing in 'The Peoples' Weekly', Moonta dated 24-9-27. It shows the surface installation, Yelta Mine, Moonta. The man in the foreground is Captain Thomas Cowling. [On back of photograph} The text of the article reads: Shortly after Ryan's discovery in June 1861 on Captain Hughes' Warrilka run, overlooking Moonta Bay, the Yelta Mining Company was formed. Mr Frederick Wright, manager of the National Bank in Adelaide, was elected Chairman of Directors, and early in the following year rich ore was being sent to Wallaroo for shipment to the E. & A. Company's smelting works at Port Adelaide. Mr. J.L. Tuxford, of the North Terrace Implement Yard, a large shareholder, was sent up to supervise operations. His stay was short and Collingwood Kitto, a Victorian manager, accompanied by his brothers, Robert K. and Richard, took charge. He was succeeded by Captain Anthony and the part shown in the illustration was then opened up. Two years afterwards Captain Thomas Cowling took charge, and in February 1871 the first engine was set going and worked continuously until early in 1878, when operations ceased following a slump in the copper market. In 1885 the Bickford Syndicate bought out the company and the late Richard Cowling, who at that time was in charge of the Hamley, was put in command. In the illustration the figure in the foreground with the high hat is that of the late Captain Thomas Cowling, who died in January 1899. Perhaps some of the old Moonta Residents may recognise others who appear in the photograph, taken by Duryea'

Sketch of Port Railway Bridge over River Torrens.

Rolling stock appears also to be fairly accurate, but loco is not quite in proportion. Loco is either Nos. 1,2, or 3. Adelaide bound train crossing the Torrens Bridge. 1856. Note engine crew equipped with oil-skins and sou'-westers. The first and last carriages are third class and are open at the sides (originally these carriages were not roofed).

S.A. Housing Trust home, Rosewater
Homes erected by the S.A. Housing Trust home, Rosewater in 1937. Photograph taken in October 1937. Homes to be let for 12/6d. per week to workers earning the basic wage. A newspaper clipping from The Advertiser, Nov. 3, 1937 says: "Sir William Goodman, also expressed his satisfaction with the houses and said that he knew people who were paying three pounds and three pounds ten shillings a week for flats which had fewer conveniences and comforts than the houses which the party was inspecting. He added that the houses had been built to conform in every way to the Building Act requirements, except that the bricks in the inner wall had been laid edge on. This step had been taken with the full approval of the local boards of health at Port Adelaide and Enfield, and with the special mortar used, the inner walls were just as stable as walls built in the orthodox way. After the Rosewater houses had been inspected the party motored to Croydon Park North where 38 houses are being built, calling in on the way at Rosewater Gardens, where a start was made yesterday on the construction of the first of another group of 38 houses. All of the houses being built under the scheme are semidetached and of three main types, each being varied with three colour treatments, making nine variations so that in a row of nine houses there are no two alike. Each houses consists of a living room, two bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, hall, wired-in sleepout, laundry, tank and stand, clothes line and posts.The fittings include six electric lights, two power points, cast enamel bath and hand basin, bath-heater and shower, kitchen sink and draining board, cupboard under sink, stove recess and shelf, wash troughs, and 10 gallon built -in copper. The allotment on which each house stands is at least 3,900 square feet, the minimum under the Building Act. Each house costs 450 pounds and this amount covers the cost of land, house, sewers, fencing, architect's fee, overhead administration, roads, footpaths, and other costs. One of the houses at Rosewater has been furnished by an Adelaide firm, the whole house being fitted out with attractive furniture and furnishings for less than 70 pounds".

Unley Road, Unley
Gaseous discharge lamps in operation, Unley Road. Attached to the back of the photograph is the following: "An extract from the Proceedings at the 33rd Annual General Meeting of the Adelaide Electric Supply Company Ltd. November 19, 1937. A year of so ago we reported the introduction of new high efficiency gaseous discharge lamps for street purposes, and of the experimental installations made in the City and Port Adelaide. These lamps were all approximately 1,000 cp and as such were probably not suitable for most street lighting. Since that date manufacturers have developed smaller units, and gaseous discharge lamps are now available in 250 and 400 cp. This will enable our Public Authorities to make use of these improved lamps in large numbers for street lighting purposes. We recently invited members of the various Corporations and District Councils in the metropolitan area to witness comparative installations of these lamps". The photograph taken at night, shows a part of Unley Road with light gleaming on the wet road and tram lines.
Old Unley Inn
Old Unley Inn, Unley. According to a researcher, this building relates to the 74th Infantry Regiment. This was the first headquarters of the 74th Infantry Regiment, in the de-licensed Unley Inn at 158-160 Unley Road, South Australia, used from 1 July 1911 until 13 March 1915. The Unley Inn had been built in 1847-48 by William Ewens, who had come to South Australia on the Prince Regent in 1839; he was a publican in Adelaide in the early 1840s but in December 1847 he retired on 1½ acres of land at Unley where he built the Unley Inn and took out a Licence the following year. He died soon after, but his wife Sarah continued to manage the Unley Inn while living in the adjoining cottage. This photograph is from the period between May 1912 and June 1913 when the regiment was known as the 74th Infantry (Boothby Battalion): the drill hall has the title 'HEADQUARTERS BOOTHBY BATTALION', with a smaller sign above the verandah, '74th INFANTRY'. In June 1913 the battalion was redesignated 74th (Boothby) Infantry. On 13 March 1915, the new drill hall and headquarters of the 74th (Boothby) Infantry was established in Thomas Street, Unley.

George Frederick Dodwell
George Frederick Dodwell, Government Astronomer from 1909. He was born at Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire February 13, 1879. He arrived in New South Wales in 1887 and South Australia in 1888. He was educated at Port Adelaide School, Prince Alfred College and the University of Adelaide. He became part of the Observatory staff in March 1899 and became the Government Astronomer in June 1909. Dodwell's hypothesis believed that the earth underwent a catastropic impact in 2345 BC that altered its axial tilt and then gradually recovered by about 1850. See "The Obliquity of the Ecliptic" by George F Dodwell, BA, FRAS. He was a devout Christian who believed that a sudden shift of the earth's axis caused the floods of Noah. According to a researcher 'G F Dodwell's hypothesis has found undeniable support and confirmation from megalithic structures that confirm what he had arrived at.'
