 Goolwa: Mordan-type 'GOOLWA/FE8/1858/=STH-AUSTRALIA=' (rated RRR) fine strike on cross-written part-entire to "Cockenzie/Edinburgh"
with very fine Perkins Bacon London Printing 6d deep blue SG 3 (margins close to large with a fragment of the adjoining unit above) tied by fine Diamond Numeral '74' cancel, GPO arrival backstamp of SP10/1857, light filing fold across the cds, the

The writer, identified from docketing as Captain George Bain Johnston, arrived at Goolwa in 1853 & built Cockenzie House in an area known as Little Scotland, which still stands. He ran successful river-trading businesses and was the first to navigate
the Murray as far as Albury (NSW). He writes of a troublesome tour group on "... one of the hottest days ever experienced in Australia by the white man ... they would not see themselves contented until they had seen Goolwa".
