Sir George Grey Pioneer of Empire in Southern Lands
South Australia
South Australia
Government Gazettes,1841-1845.
South Australian Calendars, for the same period (these must be read critically).
The Register and The Southern Australian are the most important news-page 304papers. In August 1842 the former became, for a time, very abusive and unreliable. The Examiner was a labour organ, usually violent.
South Australia and its Mines, by Francis Dutton, 1846, is the best contemporary work on Captain Grey's administration.
Expedition into Central Australia, by Captain Sturt, 1849, contains an interesting account of the resources of South Australia at end of Vol. II.
In the Surveyor-General's Office, Adelaide, are three important maps: (1) dated 1842, showing expansion up to that date; (2) showing Captain Sturt's route into Central Australia, 1844; (3) dated 1847, showing the expansion during Grey's administration (but much has been added to this map since that date).
