Duryea, Townsend, c. 1865, Photograph, B 6703

Colonel George Gawler became a 'true Christian' after being wounded in battle and answered a call for 'a godly man to became Governor of South Australia'. His task was to represent the Colonial Office to implement a systematic and self supporting colony. On arrival with his wife and family he found conditions and finances in the new colony in complete disarray. He took matters into his own hands and formed a police force and promoted rural settlement. Unfortunately, although he was intelligent and authoritarian his naivity and extravagances caused problems and he was replaced by Sir George Grey. Gawler returned to England.
