Have you ever come across a place that you just don't know where it is, and when you've looked in the current atlases it doesn't appear? Maybe it has since changed its name, or maybe it is such a small place that it doesn't get listed in modern atlases, or maybe the place no longer exists ... if you're looking for South Australian places and information on them, here's a publication for you.

This gazetteer and road guide contains the following comprehensive information for South Australia in 1866:

• The most recent and accurate information (at publication date) as to every township, village, hamlet, river, creek, mountain, lake, gold field, road and railway in South Australia with its botanical, geological, and physical features
