I've just run off some A3 of the neighbourhood for the neighbours who will be interested, I've done a couple of A1, one for my shed and one for the cafe around the corner who loves local history.

Also, Maps 23 and 24 show where the Torrens dissipated into the 'Reedbeds' out west which then drained out to the sea at the Henley Beach South outlet, as well as to the Pat and Port River respectively. Around this time is when they actually dug out and constructed the channel that directs the Torrens to the sea.
