Samuel Albert White 1870-1954 ornithologist and conservationist: 'His most arduous and important work as a naturalist occurred when he collaborated with Gregory Mathews on "The Birds of Australia" London 1910-27. To this end White mounted major collecting expeditions often accompanied by his wife. He travelled with camels to Alice Springs and beyond 1913 with a government team to the Musgrave and Everard ranges 1914 and with the South Australian Museum expedition to Cooper Creek 1916; he also went to the Nullarbor Plains 1917-18 with Sir Edgeworth David and Professor Walter Howchin to the Finke River 1921 and in 1922 led the great adventure from Adelaide to Darwin and back using three Dort motor cars supplied and serviced by Adelaide mechanics Cyril and Murray Aunger. White's outstanding achievement lay in completing an ornithological survey of the whole of South Australia and much of the Northern Territory. He was the first European to see several species and regarded the Princess Alexandra parrot as the world's most beautiful bird. A keen conservationist he was a central figure in the declaration of national parks in the State and was a noted spokesman on insects birds and botany' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. In this copy of the book 'A Classified List of the Native Species' pages 204-272 is extensively annotated in ink in what we know to be the hand of Captain S.A. White; there are slight annotations or emphases on numerous other pages. Although his name does not appear anywhere in the volume we purchased this item among many others direct from the White family home 'Weetunga' at Fulham a couple of decades ago. Loosely inserted is a ticket to an 'Exhibition of Wild Flowers' by the Field Naturalists' Section of the Royal Society of SA annotated on the verso by White; undated but 1920s.

rif. 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
rif. 102439Fine. Ten gelatin silver photographs each approximately 110 × 160 mm stamped on the versos 'The Advertiser . Adelaide . Krischock Photos copyright'. In fine condition. Locomotive 506 'Sir George Murray' entered service in October 1926; it was withdrawn in June 1959 and scrapped three years later. We have been able to trace a couple of relatively minor derailments involving this locomotive but not this particular incident. The terrain and surrounding vegetation suggest to us the mallee country between Tailem Bend and the border; the clothing on the bystanders especially the two boys in their long woollen socks thick overcoats and school caps brings back childhood memories from the early 1950s. But the train wreck is the story and this series of photographs serves graphically to confirm the official SAR estimates of the total weight of the engine and tender at more than 220 tons . 10 items. unknown
