| Description : |
Understandably Colonial Secretary Robert Gouger's description of the climate of South Australia was far more positive than Robert Harrison's. Perhaps his belief that when appropriate housing was built complaints about the heat would seldom be made, was misplaced. On page 66 he writes 'There is a lightness in the atmosphere which has a tendency to exhilarate the desponding, and to add life and joyousness to the gay.' |
