The Pioneers Association of South Australia: the First 80 years
by Cheryl Williss

On 19 September 2015, the Pioneers SA celebrated its 80th anniversary. To mark the occasion, this book, published by Wakefield Press, tells the story of the Association’s journey thus far. With a Foreword by the Honourable Alexander Downer AC, this quality hard cover limited edition was extensively researched and is illustrated in colour throughout. It not only provides an opportunity for new members to learn about the history of the Association but also offers readers some insight into the social, cultural and political history of Adelaide. An appendix to the book lists all Association members as at 30 April 2015, together with their (earliest) ancestor’s ship and year of arrival in the Province of South Australia. The cost of the book is $35; plus $13 for postage, or it can be collected in person at our office. Payment can be made by direct bank transfer (preferred), cash or cheque. Contact Pioneers SA on (08) 8231 5055 during office hours or by email at info@pioneerssa.org.au for details.

Coromandelians
South Australian Pioneers of the Coromandel
by Brian Stace & William Othams

The Coromandel was part of the first group of vessels sent out to commence the colonisation of SA. It left the UK about 7 weeks after the Buffalo (which carried the Governor and many of the officials) but arrived less than 3 weeks after the Buffalo. Although there were some labourers on earlier vessels, the Coromandel carried the first main group of labourers who were not already indentured to an employer on arrival in SA and some of the initial vital supplies.

This is a “must have” book for members, exploring the lives of mainly ordinary labourers arriving during the birth of SA. Not just for descendants of Coromandelians, this book is for all who are interested in the story of SA’s early pioneers and the social history of the SA colonisation experiment.

The book is now available at $60.00 for Pioneers SA members and $65.00 for non-members. Contact Pioneers SA on (08) 8231 5055 during office hours or by email at info@pioneerssa.org.au for details.

Additional Notes to read in conjunction with the Coromandelians Parts 1 & 2, Part 3.

** Further Notes on Early South Australian Pioneer Deaths. Originally published in The Pioneer No 222 - 224 in 2012. Revised in 2018, this well researched publication, of 71 pages, is concerned with finding the identity of the first white person to die in the colony of South Australia and the location of that person's burial. In pursuit of this, Brian Stace has addressed a number of other critical questions such as: "When did the colony begin?" and "What areas of land and sea actually constituted the colony?" Answers to these questions are important in order to clearly define times, locations and circumstances of early deaths, and thus address his principal questions unequivocally. This publication describes early (pre-settlement/Proclamation) deaths at sea and on land, including both the mainland and Kangaroo Island, documenting these in some detail, together with supporting evidence. It also looks at recorded deaths and burials following proclamation, making a convincing case among the contenders for the first person to die in the colony as Eliza Stace, his great, great grandmother.
