Point Charles Lighthouse
Point Charles Lighthouse, near Port Darwin. Following many shipwrecks near Port Darwin a lighthouse was shipped in crates from Birmingham to Adelaide and then by SS "Inamincka" to Port Darwin where construction began in 1892. The spiral staircase in the centre leads to the lantern room on top of the gallery. The burners were replaced by Trinity burners in 1894 due to an insect problem. The light was visible for 17 nautical miles including from Darwin. The galvanised lighthouse keepers' cottages can be seen in this photograph along with rows of vegetation and banana palms.

From Back of Rectory Willunga (Watercolour)
This work depicts a rural scene at Willunga looking 'From Back of Rectory'. It was painted 30 November, 1904 and is part of a selection of watercolour paintings by amateur artist, Thomas Wood, featuring scenes of Hahndorf, Port Augusta, Salt Creek near Port Lincoln, Port Lincoln, Calicalinga (Carrickalinga), Mount Barker, Wallaroo, Willunga and Noarlunga. Wood chose to uniquely sign his work with a symbol consisting of a design based on his initials, rather than a signature as such. This work depicts specific details of the scene including three visible "fallow" labelled in pencil, indicating fertilised areas of ground. The work also features the homestead, nestled into the side of a hill slope. The artist has included a tiny pencil drawing of another structure in the distance, in the centre of the work. Wood has also included three head of cattle in the foreground to indicate scale and to represent the rural nature of the setting. The skyline is met by a bright blue coastline which is in contrast to the dryness of the landscape. Although an amateur, Wood has provided an acurate example of the geography of the Willunga area in the early 1900's.
Hahndorf (Watercolour)
This work depicts a scene at Hahndorf. It was painted 16 April, 1910 and is part of a selection of watercolour paintings by amateur artist, Thomas Wood, featuring scenes of Hahndorf, Port Augusta, Salt Creek near Port Lincoln, Port Lincoln, Calicalinga (Carrickalinga), Mount Barker, Wallaroo, Willunga and Noarlunga. Instead of the unique signature symbol used in the work entitled 'From back of refectory' 1904, Wood has simply titled and dated this work. Wood attempts to create an ideal setting by limiting details to the bottom third section of the composition. A pencil line, where he has gauged the horizon, is still visible. This technique is used to intensify the scene. The eye is lead from the bottom left, where the fence begins to the centre of the path where two tiny figures stand. From there the path is followed to a low horizon line where eucalypts create a blue haze. In comparison to the two girls, the trees on either side of the path appear gigantic, which is indicative of the deeply wooded area around Hahndorf. The artist has consciously used techniques for creating distance and scale in this work and may be considered illustrative or contrived. However, the work is also a good example of what Hahndorf might have looked like in 1910, which is perhaps similar to how it appears now in some areas. The low horizon line extends to an atmosphere which further intensifies the tree canopy and the tiny figures below. Despite his amateur status as an artist, Wood has been able to illustrate a scene with conviction. Although an amateur, Wood has provided an acurate example of the geography of the Hahndorf area in the early 1900's.
Wallaroo Copper Smelts and Jetty (Watercolour)
This work depicts the copper smelts and jetty at Wallaroo. It is part of a selection of watercolour paintings by amateur artist, Thomas Wood, featuring scenes of Hahndorf, Port Augusta, Salt Creek near Port Lincoln, Port Lincoln, Calicalinga (Carrickalinga), Mount Barker, Wallaroo, Willunga and Noarlunga.

Diary of Sergeant H. E. Clark
Transcript version of a diary kept by Sergeant Harold Clark, from his departure from Australia in July 1916 to 19 January 1917, printed as a pamphlet by Scrymgour & Sons, Adelaide. 'Accompanying the pamphlet diary are two official printed cards achieved in manuscript, one recording Harold Clark's death in action on 3-3-17 and his place of burial (Warlencourt British Cemetery; Location Mem. Plot Cross No. 6 Row C; Nearest Railway Station or Town Arras), the other recording the death in action on 24-4-18 of [a cousin] Lance Corporal Andrew Douglas Clark, 43rd Battalion A.I.F. and his place of burial (Bonnay Communal Cemetery, Plot 1 Row B Grave 31; Nearest Railway Station or Town Amiens). The presence of these two cards announcing the cousins' death in action, the printing of this memorial piece in Adelaide, rather than Melbourne where Harold's parents lived, and the pristine state of the piece, strongly suggest that Elizabeth Clarke was responsible for the publication and that this copy descends ultimately from her. The front wrapper repeats the title with some additions: Gallipoli 1916 :: France 1917 / Diary of the Late Sergt. H.E. Clark / Late 27th Battalion A.I.F. / Killed in Action in France March 3, 1917. / He Gave His All - His Life. [From auction catalogue.]

Recruiting Train
[General description] The locomotive of this train has been decorated with flags and sports a British coat-of-arms and Union Jack on its front. Recruiting drives like this came about as the Australian Army did not conscript. Here is part of a newspaper article at the time: 'The Recruiting Train: Mr. Vaughan (Premier of South Australia) said arrangements had been completed for the running of the special recruiting train over the northern and western lines on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday next, and he anticipated that it would prove a great incentive to recruiting. About 12 prominent speakers would travel with the train, together with the Military Camp Band. The secretary of the State War Council (Mr. Victor Ryan) had visited the 19 local committees concerned, and he reported that they were taking up the matter enthusiastically, and big meetings were expected. Tradesmen agreed to close their premises while the meetings were being held. The flour and chaff mills and the wheat agents had promised to suspend operations so as to give the employees an opportunity of attending the meetings. Evening meetings would be held at Port Pirie and Laura on Tuesday, and at Wallaroo and Moonta on Wednesday, and day meetings as follows: Tuesday: Owen, Balaklava, Brinkworth, Georgetown, Gladstone. Wednesday: Crystal Brook, Gulnare, Snowtown, Bute, Kadina. Thursday: Wallaroo Mines, Paskeville, Port Wakefield, Hamley Bridge, Gawler. Where possible provision would be made for the enlistment and medical examination of recruits at the meetings.' This extract is from the following article: 'AUSTRALIA'S NEW ARMY. (1916, March 24). The Advertiser (Adelaide, SA : 1889-1931), p. 7.9 [On back of photograph] 'Special recruiting train which ran over the north and north western lines / March 28-30, 1916.
