I look back to a happy childhood.

The first issue of The Register was printed in London, and gave a glowing account of the province that was to be - its climate, its resources, the sound principles on which it was founded.

South Australia was the first community to give the secret ballot for political elections.

Nothing is insignificant in the history of a young community, and - above all - nothing seems impossible.

My return to London introduced me to a wider range of society.

I count myself well educated, for the admirable woman at the head of the school which I attended from the age of four and a half till I was thirteen and a half, was a born teacher in advance of her own times.

A glass of whisky in Scotland in the thirties cost less than a cup of tea.
