Even before the discovery of copper South Australia had turned the corner.

My brothers went to the parish school, one of the best in the county.

I had seen Adelaide the dearest and the cheapest place to live in.

I look back to a happy childhood.

I had only two offers of marriage in my life, and I refused both.

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

I think I was well brought up, for my father and mother were of one mind regarding the care of the family.
