In 1862 the road from Adelaide was in a parlous state as evidenced by a letter from a citizen who suggested that each resident "be provided with a pair of stilts". He ruefully signed as "Stick-in-the-Mud" - see Register, 3 June 1862, page 3c.
The Register of 4 May 1868, page 3d has a description of M. Tocchi's still:
-
We refer to the extraction of perfumes from flowers... he had the honour of receiving from the Duke of Edinburgh's equerry, notice of his appointment as perfumer to His Royal Highness for South Australia.
29 July 1876, page 7d.
- The death of the labourer, William Fanstone... has brought to light the existence of another of those wretched hovels which disgrace our city and suburbs. The home... has a roof so rotten in parts as to admit water and make two of the four rooms utterly untenable. The family consisting of a man, his wife and three daughters, one of them a girl of 17, and two sons, lived in two rooms almost destitute of furniture and filthy in the extreme. The daughters and parents all slept in one apartment and the two sons in the other. The floors of this hovel were very damp and the whole aspect of the place was most wretched and for this house they had to pay five shillings a week....
