Find out about the fascinating original vegetation around Gawler at the time of colonisation and establishment of the town of Gawler in 1839, based on research on early explorers and residents and many visiting botanists prior to 1853. See images of the native animals and birds seen in the region in those early days, including many from the paintings of John and Elizabeth Gould, from the landscapes of William Cawthorne, paintings of George French Angas, collections of early botanists such as Hermann Behr and Ferdinand Mueller and others.
