Report on Northern Territory Government Buildings

Adelaide, Government Printer, 1874.

Foolscap folio, 1 page.

Drop-title; four small holes in the left-hand margin where stab-sewn when bound (now disbound); a fine copy.

South Australian Parliamentary Paper Number 120 of 1874. A highly critical report compiled by Thomas Reynolds on his official trip to the Northern Territory as Commissioner of Crown Lands the previous year; he was in the Territory from 17 May to 11 June 1873 and this report is dated 16 July of that year. His paper hits the table with a bang - "there is not a building belonging to Government that can be considered creditable except the Telegraph offices, and they are facing the wrong way" - and gets louder.
