South Australian army officers
A formal group photograph of South Australian army officers. Previously thought to be of officers during World War I, it seem likely that that is the S.A.I.R. (South Australian Infantry Regiment) officer group at Happy Valley Camp in 1911. The badges on their uniforms indicate a pre-1912 date; and is almost certainly part of the 10th Australian Infantry Regiment - a SA militia (reserve) unit. The commanding officer (front row, centre) is Frederick Henry Daniel (later Mayor of Mount Gambier); C.H.A. Lienert is 4th from right in the middle row; Edward Clyde Padman is to his left (3rd from right, middle row); and F.W. Hurcombe is second from right in the front row.

Photographs of a trip to Mount Wudinna
'An album (a stock Kodak line, 150 x 195 mm) containing seventeen original postcard-format gelatin silver photographs loosely mounted in the specially-designed leaves; both the album and contents are in fine condition. The album has a presentation inscription to 'Miss Mabel Barns, / In remembrance of Mt Wudinna trip / July 1911. / From Press Representatives / P.P. Kenny / Thomas F. Rice', and there are captions to all images in ink on the album leaves. A lengthy article in the Adelaide Chronicle, Saturday 29 July 1911, under the heading "Western Wheat Province. Colton Farmers on Tour' gives a full account of the trip, with details supplied presumably by Messrs Kenny and Rice. Nine members of the Colton branch of the Agricultural Bureau held their July meeting at Mount Wudinna, about 100 kilometres north-east of Colton, by invitation of W.A. Barns of 'Barnsdale', Colton, and Mount Wudinna. Mr Barns "provided a drag for the trip, and a team of six first-class horses" and off they went. Mount Wudinna is approximately 250 km west of Port Augusta; one can imagine the Mount Wudinna-Colton route is still not a well-travelled path. The photographs show the full party setting off, having an alfresco lunch, visiting the tanks at Baird's Lakes, leaving Mount Wudinna, and among numerous sheep at Kappacoola Plains. There are several images of the 'Railway Clearing' through the mallee scrub, presumably for the Trans-Australian Railway. Perhaps most interesting of all are the scenes of hard life on the land, evidenced by the scrub-cutter's hut, the old homestead at Mount Wudinna, and the Survey Camp at Mount Damper. The Kenny and Barns families were among the earliest pioneers in the region.' [From vendors catalogue.]

Der Kamerad : Wochenschrift der Kriegsgefangenen auf Torrens Island, S. Australien
A weekly, handwritten and illustrated newspaper issued by Germans interned on Torrens Island during World War I. It was edited by Walter Emde. Torrens Island is located at the mouth of Adelaide's Port River, in South Australia. Over 350 'enemy aliens' were interned at the Torrens Island Concentration Camp which opened on 9 October 1914 and closed on 17 August 1915. Internees were mainly of German or Austro-Hungarian background, including some who were naturalised British citizens. In South Australia, a relatively high percentage of migrants were of German background, and so the 'enemy alien' concept had a significant effect. Not all were held as internees in camps; some were required to report to local police on a regular basis. Consists of three items: No.1 (12 June 1915), No.2 (19 June 1915) and No.3 (26 June 1915).

Comprising a composite of aerial photographs created in order to interpret geology for map making at Thompson Gap Diapir, north of Port Augusta in the Flinders Ranges and a negative of the final edit of the published map entitled 'Thompson Gap Diapir' (TJM 1971).

The interpreted geology overlay work in black ink, was the first detailed map of the Thompson Gap Diapir.

New suburb in Roxby Downs
Prefabricated houses in a new area of Roxby Downs. The photographer writes about Roxby Downs, "I came across Roxby Downs in January 2013 after working in Oodnadatta and William Creek, like most mining towns Roxby Downs has a very clean and well ordered feel to it. If Coober Pedy is the wild west of the mining outback then Roxby Downs is the corporate core. A town built to house the miners of what is set to become the largest mine in the world. Extremely well paid employees are pulling copper, gold and uranium out of the ground in vast quantities. Instead of beat up trucks and utility vehicles Roxby streets are lined with 4x4s that have never seen anything other than tarmac. The streets are lined with green and manicured grass and there is not a real local in site. The town was purposely built in 1988 to service the Olympic Dam mine which is owned by BHP Billiton, it's 550 kilometers north of Adelaide and 250 kilometers north of Port Auguster: It's a semi isolated community of 4500 people with an average age of 29 years, it also has one of the highest birth rates in the country. During the day the surrounding streets seems to be deserted due to the fact that a large number of the residents are shift workers at the mines, and the summer heat in the desert is un-bearable. I found it really relaxing to wander around the older parts of Roxby Downs in the evenings following the tree lined streets which wind there way though the red sand dune that envelope the town. I was surprised about the amount of wildlife that can be seen around the street such as emus, lizards, and parrots. The town is also expanding with new suburbs popping up on the southern side of Roxby Down, due to practicality the houses are pre-fabricated and all look the same, I found that this gave these new streets a very clinical feel. In time this will soften with the growth of trees and vegetation. I really like the main street of Roxby Downs, Norman Place is where the culture center can be found along with the cinema, the community radio station, library, and restaurant, and child care facilities all housed in the same building. At the top of the Richard Place, is the Roxby Downs Oasis Motor Inn, its white circus like tent roof can be seen from most parts of the town, I was really taken back once I entered the complex and found an in ground swimming pool in the center of the complex surrounded by two stories of rooms and restaurants. All in all, my stay in Roxby Downs was a pleasant one and I think that it will be a great place to base myself next time I am working in that part of the state."
