In 1836, Governor John Hindmarsh arrived in the new colony of South Australia, of which Adelaide was the first settlement, on the HMS Buffalo, accompanied only by free settlers. South Australia was officially proclaimed on 19 February 1836 in England. The Old Gum Tree at Glenelg North, South Australia, was the location of the reading of the Proclamation by Governor Hindmarsh on 28 December 1836.
