Description: Examines the history and hitherto vaguely known location of Adelaide's first and temporary gaol, which operated 1838 to 1841, before being replaced by Adelaide Gaol off Port Road, Thebarton. The temporary gaol, established when the first British settlers arrived, was firstly staffed by Royal Marines, and then by the South Australia Police.
