Not sure if its copy righted or not, its on a gov web site, so should be ok, mods free to remove if nessasary.
Enjoy!

Nah, you are right mate - Govt sites are for us to use, copyright LONG gone anyway.
Thank you Dave, Kato has a great interest in this type of history, and is currently working with SA State Records as a volunteer.
She has been able to see and handle some things we will never get to see let alone handle, does cataloguing and data...
stuff. :/
She will buzz out reading about this, she may even know about it.
(State Records - Attorney Generals Department)
On School holidays we went to a museum in the South East of SA, one of the displays had a document from 'Trove' relating to a reward for ID'ing
shipwreck thieves, she had edited and corrected that very document in Trove for the digital records of the text.
Spins me out the history she knows at 16yrs.
OMG !! Talk about six degree's, links to everything !

We live near to an oval in Adelaide, named after Gov Daly, organised by his friend Charles James Fox Campbell, in a suburb later named Campbelltown by Gov Daly.
Kato discovered all this because of an older three pence she detected on the oval, then researched the naming of it, this led her to...

She has done some photography as a project on the houses mentioned in the article above.
She will be tickled pink. BONUS points for you Dave. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
