Summary

General store at Riverton. Riverton is in the mid north of South Australia in the Gilbert Valley on the Gilbert River. It was settled in 1856 as it was along the track from Adelaide to Burra. The first store owner was John Jubb Horner and was built in the 1850s. Another store, the cobbler's was owned by Mr Payne. The photograph shows the store owned by G Gurner - grocer, draper, harness and saddlery and was taken in about 1860. The owner and four assistants can be seen in the photograph. John Gurner died in 1868. Also in the photograph is Frederick Gurner (far right). He moved to Kadina in 1862 before becoming their second mayor in 1873-1875.
