24.01.2022 So much Maritime history in the Edithburgh Museum. We reopen on September 26th and look forward to you visiting!

14.01.2022 Troubridge island and Sultana Point and the Windfarm, Edithburgh, from a different perspective!

14.01.2022 South Australian Chronicle and Weekly Mail (Adelaide 1868 1881) Sat April 17 1875 EDITHBURGH. A public meeting was held at the Troubridge Hotel, on Monday evening, to consider the advisability of erecting an Institute at Edithburgh. Mr. J. Gottschalck occupied the chair. Resolutions were passed affirming the advisability of an Institute being built, and appointing the following gentlemen Trustees : Messrs. C. F. Beaumont, G. Fa...rr, J. Gottschalck, G. A. Heinrich, A. Martin, T. Smith, jun., and Dr. A. Vonnida. Mr. T. Smith, jun., was appointed Hon. Secretary and Treasurer. A subscription list was opened in the room, and 24 3s. placed upon it. An excellent site has been purchased. The Trustees wish to collect by subscriptions from 150 to 200, and intend asking Parliament for a like sum. We are badly off for police protection. It is true we have one police-trooper stationed here, but this is not sufficient, as duty so often calls him to Adelaide with prisoners. It is to be hoped that the Government will see the necessity which has been frequently pointed out of placing another trooper here, and providing station accommodation. We have had some pleasant showers of rain during the past few days, causing grass to spring in many places, and the farmers to smile.Business here is very brisk. The township is increasing the number of its buildings in all directions. The police cells will be finished in a few days, and the jetty extension is being rapidly pushed on. See more
