will not be necessary to rent a steam engine as the mine always was remarkably free from water". (Image1) (Image2)

 Kooringa: 'KOORINGA' curved single-line handstamp (Type M; rated RRRRR) largely fine complete strike on face of folded entire
headed "Kooringa Burra Burra, 9th October 1850", to Adelaide with two poorly-struck Adelaide 'PAID' Crowned-Oval datestamps in red on the face and GPO ''OC*12/1850' arrival cds in blue alongside, light horizontal file fold slightly affecting the GPO
marking. The Handbook states that the PO was renamed from Burra Burra 1849 and Martin Walker states it was "before 29.3.1849". However, the manuscript "PO/BB" [Burra Burra] is recorded until 28.12.1849. Perhaps the name change was on 1.1.1850;
renamed Burra 1.12.1939. The Handbook records the Kooringa marking from 30.11.1850 to 14.2.1851 only. Don Pearce's similar example of 6.8.1850 - the now earliest recorded date - sold at our auction of 6.12.2023 for $1260 (Sale 254 Lot 2026). (Image1) (Image2)
