Summary

Mounted Police Barracks behind North Terrace were built in 1838 and rebuilt in a much grander form in 1855. In the 1850's the Mounted Police were involved as escorts for the transportation of gold bullion from the Victorian goldfields to Adelaide. The Mounted Police served in both the metropolitan and rural areas. The photograph shows the mounted police greys on parade in the courtyard of the Police Barracks behind the South Australian Museum on North Terrace.
