The 'History of Gawler' was written by E.H. Coombe in 1910 as a memento of the Jubilee of the institute of Gawler and of the municipality of Gawler.

A feature of the book is its significant biographical section and accompanying photos. This product opens up a vast amount of useful information for those interested in the early history of South Australia or the municipality of Gawler.
