Emotional reactions to Adelaide: Settler letter writing in the early years
In this lunch time event Jade Riddle will present her research which explores the critical and at times emotional representations of the city of Adelaide during its earliest years (1836-1850) and their impact on immigration rates to the colony. By comparing personal letters of the inhabitants with the official representation of the city Jade sheds new light on the sense of place and early history of settlement in South Australia.
