Captain Charles Sturt
Captain Charles Sturt, born India and joined the British Army, he arrived in Australia in 1827. Australian explorer, in 1830 he discovered and named the Murray River, an event that gave new impetus to the settlement of South Australia.

James Weston, wife & child
Photograph of a watercolour showing a family group identified on the back of the photograph as being painted at Port Arthur, Tasmania in about 1835. This dating of the painting is problematic because James Weston and Miriam Peacock married in Adelaide, South Australia in 1841 when Miriam was about 20 years old. She had arrived in South Australia with her parents and siblings on board the ship the Glenalvon from London in December 1838. If it is the Weston family it dates from the mid-1840s. In 1859 advertisements in the Wagga Wagga Express and Murrumbidgee District Advertiser James Weston is described as 'consulting surgeon ... late of Adelaide, (formerly Assistant Colonial Surgeon, Port Arthur, Tasmania)'. Miriam Weston's death notice in The Argus, 9 April 1901, describe her as 'relict of the late Dr James Weston'.

He also organized and ran the first Adelaide show out of the back yard of one of his Hotels. Abraham Fordham arrived in 1837 at the age of 34. He established himself as a hotelier and opened the Fordham's Hotel, later known as the Sturt Arcade Hotel in Grenfell Street. The hotel was originally built from packing cases in which port wine had been brought out from England. He also established the Anderson's Arms on Mount Barker Road, the name of which was officially changed to Eagle-On-The-Hill in 1855. It was renamed because a large hawk/eagle often sat on a flagpole near the entrance. Bushrangers terroised patrons and travellers near the hotel. Abraham Fordham suffered ill health and died aged 61
