| Description : |
A drawing of the view of Adelaide Plains as seen from the site of the Wheal Gawler Lead Mine. The house on the right is Gleeville situated at what is now the corner of Dashwood and Sunnyside Roads [Beaumont suburb]; it was purchased in 1846 by Samuel Davenport. Mining has been a staple industry of South Australia since the early years of European colonisation. The Wheal Gawler silver-lead mine at Glen Osmond was opened March 1841 and was the first metal mine in Australia. This view shows how open the plains were ten years after colonisation. |
