Summary

Robert Cock, after whom Cock's Creek was named (now Cox's Creek). He was an early European explorer of the Adelaide region of South Australia. Robert was born in Fife, Scotland and arrived in South Australia on the "Buffalo" in 1836. He set up a cottage with a thatched roof for himself, his wife and six children. He was deeply disturbed to find that the local authorities had no intention of honouring the commitment made in Britain to set aside one fifth of all land to provide a fund for Aboriginal welfare.
