| Description : |
A drawing of the view of Adelaide Plains as seen from the site of the Wheal Gawler mine. The house on the right, purchased in 1842 by Samuel Davenport, is 'Gleeville' situated at what is now the corner of Dashwood and Sunnyside Roads Beaumont. Wheal Gawler silver-lead mine at Glen Osmond was opened in March 1841 and was the first metal mine in Australia. This view shows how open the plains were ten years after colonisation. |
