Figure 1
View of the beach at Glenelg where W. H. Bragg first set foot on Australian soil. In 1886 ships frequently anchored offshore and passengers and luggage were ferried ashore in tenders (Jenkin, 2008). The trees in the foreground are Norfolk Island Pines, not native to Australia, and not planted at the time of Bragg's arrival.
