Notes

  • South Australian Gazette and Colonial Register was the first South Australian newspaper.

  • 'To print the first number of the SOUTH AUSTRALIAN GAZETTE and COLONIAL REGISTER in the capital of the civilized world [London], with the intention of publishing its second number in a city of the wilderness of which the site is yet unknown [Adelaide], may appear to many more chimerical than interesting; but we trust to satisfy all who honour these pages with other than a casual glance that there is greater prudence and higher import in that intention than are apparent on the surface ; and, moreover, that, without presumption or self-deceit, our scheme possesses none of the characteristics of the rash projector, but is the result of the patient investigation of men qualified by years and experience to form a sound judgment, and who, in all other relations of life, have acted on opinions cautiously adopted, deliberately confirmed, and fully capable of practical development.'
