The Torrens Valley Historical Journal

The Torrens Valley and District Historical Society was established in 1976.

One of the objects of that Society was to publish historical records and articles relevant to the history of the district.

This object was realised in the production of the Torrens Valley Historical Journal as a quarterly publication.
The first issue of that Journal was published in October 1977.

It’s frustrating to have to see doctor after doctor with seemingly incurable ailments. Doubly so if it’s your child who is suffering and you feel hopeless about it. For Veronica and Craig Hannam it was heartbreaking to watch their youngest son, Declan, in such discomfort; covered head to toe in eczema.

You’d like a bloke who loves football, cars and motorbikes: a bloke who grew up in the hills and now lives on a 10 acre hobby farm with his wife and children. You could relate to someone who has been influenced by his father and some might say, following in his footsteps: a bloke who considers himself an absolute hills person. These criteria could fit many people in the hills, but the person I am talking about is Mark Goldsworthy (pictured above).

He is our sitting parliamentary member for the electoral district of Kavel. He is passionate about his community, one that he, and his own children, have grown up in. He has been our elected member for the last 8 years and enjoys driving around the district, attending to the diverse issues faced by the locals.
