The Duke is pictured with Lord Richard Nevill private secretary to the Governor of South Australia. Buckland Park is a pastoral property near Port Gawler South Australia. George Frederick Ernest Albert The Duke of Cornwall and York and later King George V 1865-1936 was the second eldest son of King Edward VII who ascended the throne on Queen Victoria's death in January 1901. With the first Parliament of Australia set to open in early May the mourning King sent George now next in line to the throne to Australia as his representative. The Duke and his Duchess Mary 1867-1953 left England on 15 March aboard an Orient steamship specially chartered for the voyage. Two days after arriving in Melbourne on 9 May the royal couple drove through streets lined with cheering crowds to the Exhibition Building where the Duke declared the Parliament open before thousands of guests. 'The Duke and Duchess were kept busy with a program ranging from dinner and a University Commencement to the presentation of prizes to public schools. They also managed to visit briefly country Victoria. Nevertheless during their 10-day visit they still managed to fit in a day's shooting. The tour also included visits to other states New Zealand South Africa and Canada' Museums Victoria website. The official party made a short visit to South Australia 10-15 July not least to take up an invitation for another day's shooting . Alice Foster tells the story in the 'Salisbury and District Local History Newsletter' December 2019: 'Mr Leonard Browne the owner of Buckland Park and at the time in England invited the Royal party to a shooting excursion to his property. The Royal party consisted of HRH The Duke of Cornwall Prince Alexander of Teck Lord Wenlock Sir Charles Cust The Hon. Derek-Keppel Commodore Winsloe and Commander Faussett. On 3rd July 1901 a special meeting was held in the Salisbury Institute to make arrangements for welcoming their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall who were to make a short stay on their journey to Buckland Park on Friday 12th July. There was a large attendance and Mr J.P. Swann was elected chairman on the motion of Dr E. Brookes seconded by the Rev. S. Moncrieff. It was decided to form a committee who were empowered to make the necessary arrangements. As Salisbury was the only town in South Australia to be visited by the Royal party there was great enthusiasm from the residents with suggestions for decorating the railway station. An orange arch consisting of branches blossoms and fruit would be formed and extended from the station gate to the spot where his Royal Highness's carriage would stand. The scholars of Salisbury and neighbouring schools would constitute a guard of honour to the Duke. The Royal train left North Terrace station a few minutes after 9 am driven by Mr Thomas Youll and sped swiftly on its way reaching Salisbury at 9.25 am. A crowd of townsfolk had assembled and church choirs and state school children united in singing the national anthem. The Hon. J. Stirling MLC drove His Royal Highness from Salisbury to Buckland Park arriving at 11 am. A good morning's sport was obtained in the swamps near the sea and luncheon was prepared in two marquees. A facsimile of the pigeongram sent by His Royal Highness follows: "We only got about 325 this should read 35 ducks this morning hope to get some peacocks this afternoon. G." . The special train left Salisbury at 6.08 pm and arrived in Adelaide at 6.20 pm' with all on board tired but happy. The game book saw little use with only the first three pages filled in. The first entry is dated 29 January 1898 and there are 20 separate entries in that year. There are ten parties in 1901 one in 1902 two in 1907 and the final one in 1936. However 1901 is the stellar year with numerous old South Australian names manning the guns: these include Baker Belt Hawker Jacob Matheson Phillipson Rounsevell and Stow. The names of the Duke's party are listed in a scribe's hand; only 40 peafowl were added to the aforementioned ducks and the remarks column has nothing remarkable to say 'One hour at ducks in morning only'. A fortnight later Messrs Hawker Phillipson Belt Belt Stow and Matheson had better luck bagging 41 ducks 2 stilts 1 avocet 1 sandpiper and 2 rabbits and reporting it was 'Cold & wet. Birds fairly plentiful but wary of new hides. Meat pies good'. 2 items. hardcover

'These papers are written solely for private distribution amongst relatives and special friends; and as my family is rather numerous and dispersed the necessity arises of having them printed'.

Flush-cut quarter green cloth and yellow papered boards with the full title page details repeated on the front cover; covers slightly rubbed at the extremities and lightly marked; front flyleaf removed; an excellent copy. 'These papers are written solely for private distribution amongst relatives and special friends; and as my family is rather numerous and dispersed the necessity arises of having them printed'. This copy is inscribed on the verso of the title page to 'Charlotte de S. Dutton with kind regards' and signed by the author. MacDermott an 1829 pioneer of Western Australia before settling in South Australia in 1846 died in 1877. The provenance is most interesting: Charlotte de S. Dutton was the widow of William Hampden Dutton 1805-1849; her mother's maiden name was Da Silva. In 1849 William's brother Francis Stacker Dutton 1818-1877 married MacDermott's daughter Caroline. The Duttons and their pastoral property Anlaby were household names in South Australia for generations; to put them into context 'While working at Anlaby in 1842 Francis had discovered with Captain Charles Bagot the Kapunda copper mine' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'.

Early gilt-decorated half calf and marbled papered boards a little rubbed and bumped at the extremities; corners and the rear leading edge a little worn; 'Vol III' label missing from the spine; occasional scattered foxing and offsetting; a very good copy. Provenance: James Hurtle Fisher with his armorial bookplate on the pastedown and his signature in ink at the head of the engraved title page. Sir James Hurtle Fisher 1790-1875 'was one of the most important pioneers of South Australia' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. He commenced practice as a solicitor in London in 1816 and 'was drawn into the colonizing movement in 1835. He was selected as resident commissioner one of the most important offices under the South Australian Act . second only to the governor'. Fisher 'left England in July 1836 with the governor's party in the "Buffalo" arriving on 28 December 1836 at Holdfast Bay where the official oaths were administered a proclamation was read and a ceremony marked the beginning of settlement. In January 1837 Fisher erected his reed hut and Land Office near the survey camp of Colonel William Light at the north-western corner of the new capital site; the destruction of these temporary buildings by fire on 23 January 1839 caused both men serious loss. Fisher had been allowed to draft his own instructions which were not shown to Governor Sir John Hindmarsh. Disputes between the two men over their respective powers had begun on the voyage and were soon revived in the new Council of Government and more violently outside and led in February 1837 to the Resident Magistrate's Court binding the participants over to keep the peace towards each other. The new governor George Gawler was appointed both governor and resident commissioner a radical departure from the principles on which the colony had been founded'. Fisher returned to his profession and became a leader of the South Australian Bar. In October 1840 he was elected first mayor of Adelaide; in 1860 he became the first resident South Australian to be knighted. The destructive fire referred to above is described in detail in the biography of Light Dutton and Elder 1991. Light was living 'in the wood and reed surveyor's hut alongside Fisher's equally combustible house in the parklands on North Terrace. In his own account ". we discovered Fisher's house to be on fire. At the same time the breeze freshening up the destruction to both houses became inevitable. In less than ten minutes both houses were burnt to the ground mine catching fire at the roof by a lighted piece from Fisher's. We saved nothing of value"'. Accordingly personal mementoes such as this presumably brought by Fisher to South Australia on the 'Buffalo' must be of the utmost rarity. William Darton hardcover
