Summary

Catherine Chambers. In 1861 James and Catherine owned Carlew House in North Adelaide. In 1876 Hugh and Agnes Chambers owned the house. James Chambers arrived in Adelaide in 1837 aged 26 and soon established a thriving transport business between Holdfast Bay and Adelaide and later between Port Adelaide and Adelaide. He was also the owner of the first taxi cab in Adelaide. He was friendly with McDouall Stuart and gave the explorer a lunch before the party set off to cross the continent.
