Then Tina Met Will

In the 1860s and 1870s, the reason for the population spread across South Australia's Gulf St Vincent and down through Yorke Peninsula was twofold - opportunity for mining and the opening up of land for farming. These two worlds collided when Tina met Will. This book tells the story of the author's maternal grandparents, Clementina Goldfinch and William Staker, and the life journeys of their forebears, providing some insight into significant pockets of social history in rural South Australia and the far-west mining region of New South Wales. Praise for the author's Miss Marryat's Circle 'Gives a voice to the women of South Australia's first hundred years of European settlement and an opportunity to reflect on the changing position of women in a male dominated society.' - Nic Klaassen, Flinders Ranges Research 'A comprehensive and well-researched exploration of the role of women in South Australian history.' - Georgina Banfield, Tulpa Magazine
