Panorama of Adelaide
A panorama made up of five individual images, taken looking south from Montefiore Hill in North Adelaide. The resulting view shows the largely denuded Adelaide Hills behind the buildings that make up Adelaide. Two church spires and the Town Hall tower rise above the other buildings.
Government House, Adelaide
Front view of the eastern end of Government House, with the garden in front.
Carriage and outriders
An open carriage with four horses harnessed to it, with two men in top hats on the driver's seat and another up behind; and an additional four men mounted on horses (two in front, two behind). It is assumed this is the carriage and escort provided for the Duke of Edinburgh during his visit. A number of militia men can be seen standing beyond the carriage. This image occupies just over half of the print, with the remaining (bottom) part showing an out of focus hill. There is also a curious 'wheel' which appears to be in mid air behind the assemblage.
