The River Torrens
$30.00
The Rier Torrens has a unique place in the history of South Australia, for it was near its course between the Adelaide Hills and the coast that the first surveyor General of the state, Colonel William Light, chose as the site for the capital, Adelaide.
In this book the author, Neville Collins, traces the course of the river from the hills to the sea and the developments which have occurred on it path since European settlement.
His account is complemented by numerous photographs that capture the river and its surroundings.
It should be a useful addition for those interested in the history of South Australia.
