Adelaide 1854: Shipping notices seek Melbourne and Geelong cargoes
Advertisements show ships like ANTELOPE and OVERLAND MAIL preparing to sail to Melbourne and Geelong with cargoes and passengers. Notices urge bidders, auction sales, and stock clearances. Businesses along Hindley Street and Port Adelaide promote drapery, wines, and general goods ahead of departures to England and Australia.
