The early Papers were written during September in which month the country round Adelaide is seen at its very best. The areas of Gawler Kapunda Kooringa Hill River Estate Clare and surroundings were visited during October and the return journey between Adelaide and Mount Gambier including Strathalbyn Willunga Goolwa Hindmarsh Island Narracoorte and the Drainage Country took place during November' preface. The critical comments on contemporary vine cultivation and wine production make interesting reading. Visits were made to properties and individuals well-known to this day: Davenport Boothby Crompton Auld Mrs Penfold Thomas Elder and Birksgate Thomas Hardie sic and Bankside and 'Clare - Seven Hills and St. Aloysius' College' with numerous 'Notable Wine Growers' in the region mentioned. Many areas significant in the modern vine and wine industry are conspicuously absent in this survey at least in this regard. Ferguson 9210. E. & D.

'In life she alternated between being sweet as pie and utterly gangrenous about everyone' appears early in the text of that email; we'll leave the rest for the purchaser of this item.

1872109662Gotha: Justus Perthes 1872. Gotha Justus Perthes 1872. A three-colour map printed surface 246 × 424 mm mounted on plain paper with the two original vertical folds barely visible; minimal light foxing; in excellent condition. 'Petermann's Geographische Mittheilungen. Jahrgang 1872 Tafel 22' is printed in the top margin outside the printed border. 'Petermann's Geographische Mittheilungen' Petermann's Geographical Communications founded by August Heinrich Petermann in 1855 ceased publication only as recently as 2004. It was 'the oldest German-language journal for geography in which all major geographical discoveries of the 19th and 20th centuries were published' Wikipedia. About J.M. Gilmore we have unearthed nothing and when even such an indefatigable bibliographer as Ian McLaren doesn't record him you're definitely made a discovery. The map is much more informative. Gilmore made two trips in the Channel Country in south-west Queensland one in January to March 1871 the other in September-October 1871. The routes are marked in red on the map. Justus Perthes unknown
