If I had been present in the 18th century, I wish I had warned Indians about their colonial future. Had they understood the reality earlier and acted in time, they might not have had to suffer through nearly 200 years of colonial rule.

A block on Aldinga's Old Coach Road passed from the family who founded the township to three generations of blacksmiths — the Pengillys, then John Noah Crisp — who kept the district's horses shod and its coaches built for the best part of a century.

Publican, brewer, mill-builder, and Member of Parliament — Alexander Anderson founded the township of Morphett Vale and ran the emu hotel for six years. His feud with the Reynells ran for over a decade, ending when the district rallied to drive him from the magistracy months before his death in 1862.

In 1858 a young woman broke a champagne bottle against the new timber bridge at Clarendon. The ford it replaced had tested every cart and carrier on the road south for twenty years. Sixty years later the timber was rotting — the ford pressed into service one last time before a concrete arch took its place.

How did early modern utopias reimagine society and nature? Answers can be found in the case of the Philadelphia’s green spaces to mining ventures—that tested alternative models of living, where humans, animals, and resources coexisted in radical ways.

I've been reading some history about colonial days and it looks like white men were often much more openly or structurally racist than white women. What do you think is the reason for this?

Oh my stars! My smile couldn't be wider. The global framework for reparatory justice has been so long in coming I despaired of any progress being made in my lifetime. We, in Canada, must acknowledge our part in and work toward reparation of past injustices globally just as we must work toward it at home.
"Let us not embark on separate journeys, but let us today reflect the unity of purpose, the recognition that whether it is through advocacy or advisory opinions or actions, our role is to ensure that there is no retreat from our requests and that we recognise that repair comes after recognition,” she (Mia Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados) said. “For in all that we do in the rest of our lives, where damage is perpetrated, repair is always, always required."

Built in 1841 by William Holly, the Golden Pheasant Inn stood on Gates Road in Hackham's original township — opposite Holly's own cottage.By 1873 it had lost its licence. William eventually sold up and returned to England, passing the property to his son Charles. The old inn fell into ruin and was later demolished.

The Crown Inn was among Reynella's first buildings when John Reynell opened the land for allotments in 1854. Robert Hay, previously of the Victoria Hotel at Tapley's Hill, established the inn the following year. Hay died on 20 January 1862, after which the hotel passed through many hands. Opposite the old horse changing station, it was a natural stop for coaches heading south and a gathering place for locals.
