ref. 105589Two of the photographs are approximately 100 × 150 mm the other two are approximately 70 × 75 mm. All four have been removed from an old album leaf and remounted on acid-free card; each one has a small number pencilled unobtrusively in the sky in the top right-hand corner. One photograph in each size depicts Higgins at his pastoral property at Currency Creek with the homestead 'Higginsbrook' figuring prominently in the smaller one. In the other two photographs Higgins is shown standing on rocks at the coast at Middleton the site was identified on the verso in pencil. The photographer is unidentified; the images are undated but we suggest the 1860s. Irish-born Thomas Walker Higgins 1810-1899 emigrated to South Australia in September 1839. The following year he and his wife and their only child 'journeyed to the South Coast where good land was plenty. They took up a run near Currency Creek and on Section 2147 in the hundred of Goolwa they built their home naming it "Higginsbrook" after his family's ancestral home back in Ireland. It was built on a side of a hill giving a scenic view over the valley towards the sea. In 1849 Thomas Higgins purchased what is now known as Middleton. In 1854 he had the land surveyed and made plans for the township of Middleton naming after his connection with Ireland' genealogical information sourced with many thanks from the Higgins family genealogy page on RootsWeb. 4 items. unknown
ref. 146979Very Good. A vintage gelatin silver photograph 140 × 88 mm printed as a postcard. Light surface indentations and a few minor signs of handling sent through the post; in very good condition. The unidentified woman is depicted standing in front of a rudimentary shelter of canvas and blankets with a young child on her back. The postcard is stamped and postmarked 'Goolwa S.A. MR 4 10' and the proximity of Goolwa to the Point McLeay makes this the most likely location. The card is addressed simply to 'Miss Dorothy Train Paskeville' and the text begins: 'Dear Dot This is a picture of some of sic ladys we went to visit last week dont you think it is a pretty baby . love from Jessie'. Vernon Ragless Padman was born at Middleton on South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula in 1891. He appears to have been a keen amateur photographer and took numerous photographs of the local Ngarrindjeri people including at Point McLeay now known as Raukkan on the southern shore of Lake Alexandrina see South Australian Museum AA245/1. unknown
