Prince Alfred in Australia: His Royal Highness receiving address of the Glenelg Corporation, 1868. Engraving of a photograph by Mr. T. Duryea. 'At Glenelg, which is the favourites watering-place of the citizens of Adelaide, great preparations were made to give the Prince a festive welcome...On the jetty he was received by the Governor, while the spectators cheered and the battery fired a Royal salute. His Royal Highness and his Excellency, both dressed in plain clothes, passed down the pier to the dais, where they were met by the Mayor of Glenelg, Mr. E. W. Andrews, who read the address from the municipal corporation of that town. A brief reply, thanking them, and promising to remember Glenelg, as his first landing- place in Australia, was read by the Prince. He then, with the Governor, Lord Newry, and the Hon. Eliot Yorke, entered the Governor's carriage, drawn by four bays, and drove to Adelaide'. From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
