Gertrude Randell

Gertrude Randell

Gertrude Randell, supposedly the wife of Captain Randell. A quick search of BDM records and Trove brings up only two people called Gertrude Randell in South Australia (from an era that would explain the style of her clothing). Firstly, there was a Gertrude Randell who died in 1912 at the age of 23. She was married to an Albert W. Randell, who may have been this man, also was a Captain and the son of Capt. William Randell. Surname: RANDELL Given Names: Gertrude Hedwig Date: 1912-06-18 Sex: F Age: 23y Status: M Relative: Albert Wentworth RANDELL (H) Residence: Renmark Death Place: Renmark 16/02/2023. The other, a Miss Gertrude Randell, is likely the daughter or niece of a W.J. Randell. Based on the woman's clothing this photograph most likely depicts the first Gertrude (a quick Google search shows that her clothes fit into the fashion of the Edwardian era) and there is no further evidence to show who her husband may have been.

P.S. Mayho with a shooting group on board

Bow view of 'P.S. Mayho' at river bank, with group of shooters on the upper decks, and their catch hanging on the railing. A researcher has provided the following information: William Patey, the man standing on the top deck on the left, was the owner of the Mayho (originally named 'Julia' before he purchased her) and he used to cart wood to the Renmark Trust for many years before he sold it to the Renmark Trust, who then changed her name to Ero after Mr E.R. Olorenshaw. The trust continued to use her for many years and today she sits on the bottom of the river near Rufus.

P.S. Gem snagged in Higgin's Cutting near Cal Lal, N.S.W

P.S. Gem snagged in Higgin's Cutting near Cal Lal, N.S.W

Side view of the upper decks of P.S. Gem, which snagged and partly sunk, in Higgin's Cutting near Cal Lal, N.S.W., November 1948. [From information provided by Frank Tucker, the Gem sank at Cal Cal, not Higgin's Cutting]. According to another researcher, the Gem hit a snag next to what was then known as Scotty's Woodpile on Lindsay Island about 500 yards upstream from Wompinni House on the opposite bank.(Wompinni was part of Kulcurna Station then owned by the Higgins family and is still standing). The Captain realised the boat was in trouble but also knew that if he abandoned ship on that side of the river, they would not be able to get help because no-one lived there. He allowed The Gem to drift downstream and steered it to a sandbar next to what the Higgins family referred to as the First Creek. This was close to where the old Police Station and Customs House once stood. The Captain ran the boat aground on the sandbar, the passengers were able to get off safely onto the bank. One man had suffered a heart attack during the panic and had died. He was left on his bunk. Someone went for help to Wompinni and soon Mr J.T. Higgins and family were on the scene. His daughter Denys Higgins, aged about 19 at the time and mid-way through her nursing studies was rowed out to the Gem by her father to examine the body of the man to see if there was anything that could be done for him. In the meantime, all the crew and passengers were cared for by the Higgins family with cups of tea and food. Efforts were made to engage buses from Renmark to transport the passengers and crew back to Renmark but because the roads at the time were in a poor state, they were eventually all taken on trucks and by private transport.

Reverend Arthur M. Trengove : SUMMARY RECORD

Records of the Reverend Arthur M. Trengove comprising approximately 1300 lantern slides and glass plate negatives. To a lesser extent there are nitrate negatives and prints. The majority were created in South Australia and document the landscape and his activities as Reverend. Items include images of the following areas; Mid North and Flinders Ranges, Eyre Peninsula (including Cowell, Franklin Harbour, Hissey's Creek, Coonarie Falls, Winnowing, Arno Bay, Port Lincoln), Adelaide Botanic and Zoological Gardens, Port Elliot and Hindmarsh River, Beetaloo Reservoir, Bundaleer, Prince Alfred College, Mount Gambier, River Murray, Mannum and Renmark. Trengove spent time abroad in both New Zealand and during World War 1 in Egypt. Both trips are documented. There are also many family portraits, mainly taken during the mission years in northern South Australia. There are items of interest including a wooden and metal gas lantern slide projector and wooden frames for the slides, used in projection. There is a decorative light projection device with a prism-like light refractor which would have been used for creating patterned and coloured light presentations.

Lock 4 football club

Lock 4 football club

Digital copy of a sepia photograph of a team of footballers from the Riverland posing in a bush setting. The caption on the verso reads 'Lock 4 Football Club'. Original printed in Renmark. A researcher has provided the following information: this photo had to have been taken between 1927 and 1929 when Lock 4 was underway. On 13 March 1927 a meeting of the Lock Four Football Club was held in the town hall with Mr B. Warren presiding. The question of joining one of the river football associations was discussed and it was decided to apply for admission to the Renmark (Upper Murray) association. The colours selected for the club were red and black, subject to approval of the association. It was resolved to prepare a ground immediately. They joined the Loxton-Browns Well Association. From the Adelaide Chronicle, 19 September 1929, 'Staff and employees have been prominent in sports and the lock for four football team have been premiers of the Loxton-Browns' Well Association of the past three years'.
