Phone call with parents. My #TroveAu research paying off again, Dad ( #dementia) engaged in the conversation, adding details, filling in #FamilyHistory that they’ve never told me before. Think I might have to spend an arvo at the #StateLibrarySA when I visit next month - they hold maps that aren’t #digitised yet. Looking at #PaynehamRoad in #StPeters #Adelaide around the early 1920s, and #Glenelg.

This morning I came across this 1840s watercolour of Government House, Adelaide in the State Library SA collection. It's attributed to Governor George Gawler as the artist, but I think it's actually by S T Gill and it's nearly identical to another Gill held by Art Gallery SA.
