Relics Collection of the Royal Geographical Society of South Australia


An additional and interesting resource is a collection of relics pertaining to Australian explorers. Included is a table and chair made by John McDouall Stuart, a surveyor's level owned by Colonel William Light and the water canteen of William Coulthard, on which is scratched his dying message.
Some of these can also be viewed on the Australian Museums online website.
