Penola.
Penola is centrally situated - being roughly 50km from Mt Gambier, Naracoorte, Millicent and Casterton and it is a district of pastoralists and swamps. The great pastoralists of the district prevented the growth of small-scale agriculture in the 19th century and the town population grew very slowly. The district known as Penola was first squatted on before 1840 by Solomon, Josiah and Thomas Austin at Yallum Park. The site was probably selected by their agent John Bowden. The first settlers, as opposed to squatters, were Scottish born Alexander Cameron and his wife Margaret, nee MacKillop, who in 1845 obtained an occupation licence to lease the land. The pastoralists had licenses and from 1851 formal leaseholds of the lands. At that time the proforma lease documents noted the natives had prerogatives to “full and free ingress to the springs and surface water thereon…and they may….use, occupy, dwell on and obtain food and water thereon….” These rights however were extinguished in the 1860s when land was surveyed and sold with freehold title. (Penola and Coonawarra from Foundation to Federation by Peter Rymill 2017, page 65/66.) But as a pioneer with a land license Alexander Cameron built the first house in Penola - Cameron Cottage in 1845 which is now behind the Catholic Church. Margaret’s niece Mary MacKillop lived with them in the cottage for some time as a governess to their children from 1860 to 1862. By the 1860s Cameron had an estate of around 50,000 freehold acres. Other settlers like the Gladstone’s and Duncan Cameron lived in the district in the 1840s also.
In April 1850 Alexander Cameron obtained eighty acres of freehold land and established the private town of Panoola, later known as Penola. He set aside several blocks for the use of the community, including a market square and blocks for churches to be built on at a later stage. The plan for the town was drawn in 1858. Alexander Cameron was born in 1810 in Scotland and overlanded his first sheep to South Australia from NSW. In 1848 Duncan Cameron (no relation to Alexander Cameron) became the original licensee of the Royal Oak Hotel. He did a roaring trade during the early 1850s when thousands of men from Adelaide travelled to the Victorian goldfields via Penola. Adam Lindsay Gordon the writer became the police trooper in Penola from 1854-56. The Royal oak Hotel was rebuilt in 1872. Apart from the two Cameron men the first residents were Christopher Sharam, a boot maker and his wife Ellen who had fifteen children. A post office was constructed in 1857 and in the early days religious services were held in the local courtroom with the Presbyterians being the first to make use of this facility. The Reverend Mark Dixon was the first Presbyterian clergyman from 1856 until 1864. The Catholics started with a wooden church in 1858. Their first resident priest was Father Powell who also had established a school in 1855 in Penola. Michael O'Grady had charge of 40 students in his private school. The best-known school was opened in 1866 by the red haired Gaelic speaking Mary MacKillop, the co-founder of the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart. Scottish born Mary lived 1842-1909. She was greatly assisted by Father Tenison Woods of Mt Gambier who encouraged her and had her take her vows to be a nun in 1867. Mary established her second school in Adelaide before setting up the order around Australia. By the time of her death in 1909 in Sydney she presided over 223 school and charitable institutions. She became the first Australian to be made a Catholic Saint in 2010. A new stone school room and residence was built in Penola in 1867 for Mary Mackillop and it which still stands. Saint Mary MacKillop started teaching in this school room. A new stone Catholic Church, called St Joseph’s was completed in 1865 at a cost of £1,000. Most of this money had come from the wealthy Catholic Highland Scots of the district. The other buildings on this site include the later Catholic Church built in 1924 with its modern curved glass shrine to Saint Mary MacKillop. Behind the church is the old Convent built in 1872. Next to the old buildings is the modern 1998 Mary MacKillop Interpretive Centre with the lake in front of it. It includes considerable information on Father Tension Woods too. The site also includes a replica of Alexander Cameron’s first wooden cottage.
The Church of England's Saint Mary's church was completed in 1873 and consecrated in 1887. George Dickson the son of the pioneer of Maaoupe station commission the stained glass window above the altar in memory of his parents after their deaths in the 1880s. Across the road from the Church is the Anglican Parish hall was built in simple Gothic style in 1899. Near the little park which was part of Alexander Cameron’s original town plan is the old Mechanics Institute building which is now the Information Centre. It was built in 1869 with classical Greek architectural features. Opposite it is the former Foresters Hall built in 1873. It is a small building with two rounded windows and a small pediment a cross the roof line. Next to the Riddoch Centre is the grand Presbyterian Church built in 1870. It has Gothic arches, buttresses and a fine bell tower which was added in 1906. The first government school was completed in 1879 but located a fair distance from the Main Street. Petticoat Lane, the oldest street of Penola, retains much historical charm. Red gum kerbing as well as rose and lavender plantings enhance the lane’s character. It is a State Heritage Area. Back in the Main Street at an historic crossroad is the original Georgian style Post Office built in 1876 and across the road from it is the former single storey Italianate style Bank of South Australia constructed in 1884. On the other corner is the rebuilt Royal oak Hotel of 1873 and on the last corner is the gracious two storey former National Australian bank built in a Georgian style in 1868. Behind the Post Office towards the Catholic Church is the first telegraph station, a single storey structure erected in 1859. Further along this street is the former Methodist church erected in 1908 and it is now Piper’s Restaurant and next to it is the former offices of Cobb and Co coaches. This ticket booking office was built in 1857. Much later of course the railway replaced the need for the coaches. The railway line from Mt Gambier to Naracoorte and Bordertown was started in 1885 with John Riddoch turning the first sod of soil and it was completed in 1887 giving Penola a comfortable railway link to Adelaide. In the 1870s John Riddoch tried to convince parliament to build a railway from Beachport to Penola but that never occurred. The old railway station in the western side of town was built in 1887. This was probably a weatherboard station which was replaced with an Art Deco style railway station in 1909 with large arched windows. This SA Railways design was copied in Wallaroo, Moonta, Bordertown, Tailem Bend etc. At the northern exit of the town is the historic Bushman’s’ Inn. This fine two storey hotel was built in 1870 as a single storey hotel with the upper floor added later in the 1870s or 1880s. Mrs. Spillett opened it as excellent accommodation for travelers with good stables and plenty of chaff. Just north of the town is the Katnook Winery. The buildings there include the old shearing shed of John Riddoch’s which was built in 1867. The population of Penola in the 1891 census was 1,200 people. Today it has risen slightly to 1,600.

Eyes and Crowle Story.
(courtesy of the Vintage and Veteran Motorcycle Club of SA)
In early 1906 William Crowle and Robert Eyes established the motor firm Eyes & Crowle, Limited. They began in Adelaide, South Australia, and were “Sole Agents” for many makes of motorcars and motorcycles over time. Mr Crowle had much experience in this area as he had “mastered all the details of the business” by working in and managing motor and electrical organisations in America, England and Europe prior to setting up business in Adelaide. The firm initially started selling bicycles and motor cycles, but over time the motor car section of the business grew until it became their major operation as well as looking after the servicing of motor vehicles and selling related accessories.
In 1908 the company went public and a new garage was opened across the country in Sydney. The next few years proved to be very expansive for the firm. They opened new businesses in country S.A., in places such as Burra, Mount Gambier, and Cowell. By 1911 the acre-sized main property at 75-79 Pirie St. Adelaide employed 50 people and sold, on average, 100 cars a year. Even though the company was selling many more different makes of cars compared to motorcycles, the average annual sales of Triumph motor cycles (100 per annum) were about the same as the total motor car sales.
The Advertiser called the company “one of the largest, as well as one of the most efficiently equipped, motor garages and motor works in the Commonwealth” in an article which also claimed that, population-based, “South Australia has long had the reputation of possessing more motor vehicles than any other country in the world.” The bulk of the company's business became selling motor cars, and some of their selection of “The World’s Best Cars” they sold included Buick, De Dion Bouton, F.I.A.T., Minerva, Crossley, Clement, Darracq, Sunbeam, Delage, F.N., Sizaire et Naudin, Maudslay, Itala, K.R.I.T., Durant, Rugby, Belsize, Packard, Hupmobile, Cardillac, Bean, as well as “Commer” Motor Lorries. Eyes & Crowle sold a much smaller variety of motorcycles.
Unfortunately, times and fortunes change. Several factors combined to influence Eyes & Crowle’s eventual demise. Eyes & Crowle lost the agency for Buick, a brand that is still going today. By the late 1920s the business was starting to wind down. Maybe their future would have been different if they had retained Buick or picked up the Ford agency which had belonged to Duncan & Fraser. Anyway, in February 1930, Eyes & Crowle’s managing director Mr H. W. Reid left to head Autocars Ltd in Adelaide. Shortly after that move, Autocars Ltd took over the selling of Rugby-Durant vehicles from Eyes & Crowle as well as the selling of Nash cars and Federal trucks. By May 1st 1930 the centrally located and well know premises of Eyes & Crowle had been taken over by the ‘Lewis’ firm and was being used as a parking station and servicing centre. The remaining stock of second hand vehicles were sold off at bargain prices. Today, the original Eyes & Crowle building is opposite a Subway business.
"Rockwell used real people as models, and in this case it was a real County Agent named Herald K. Rippey whose charge was Jay County, Indiana. A Nebraska 4-H Development Foundation pamphlet written by Clarice Orr provides an interesting piece of history as follows:
Artist Rockwell followed County Agent Herald K. Rippey around Jay County, Indiana, and, according to the story, ended up "worn to a nubbin', but chock-full of farm cooking, tips on how to cull chickens and test soil and warm admiration for his subject."
Clint Hoover, director of the Nebraska Center Hotel, spotted Mr. and Mrs. Rippey, one summer day, standing in the lobby in front of the painting. Enroute home from a West Coast vacation, they stopped to see the painting in its permanent home. Rippey reminisced about 4-H and his brush with fame with Norman Rockwell. Purdue's School of Agriculture had picked Herald Rippey as the county agent and Rippey selected the Don Steeds, an active 4-H family of Portland, Indiana.
When Mr. and Mrs. Rockwell arrived in Indiana, he was well pleased with the plans for the setting except for the barn — it was white and he wanted a red one. ...
... Although he planned for a spring scene on the canvas, preparations were actually done in the fall. Faithful to detail, Rockwell changed the boy's winter cap to the proper spring attire. And after Rockwell's farmer neighbor reminded him that fall calves have heavier coats than spring calves, Rockwell repainted the calf.
For over a decade now, in various presentations around the country, I have shown a slide of the painting, asking audiences if they see anything wrong with this piece of nostalgia, this representation of the nearly gone agrarian world. What is clear, with a little study, is that expertise and youth are central while tradition and experience are peripheral. Norman Rockwell painted what was, at the time. He was also painting what got writ large in American agriculture. For most of us at that time it was probably unforeseen. For that matter, it might have been unforeseeable.
Time and again we're told that the current scale in the industrialization of agriculture was an inevitability or that economic determinism was at work or some such language. The efficiency in the time factor, which translates into how few people are necessary to produce our food on the land, is regarded as a virtue of sorts. A sign on Interstate 70 near the Manhattan, Kansas, exit — the exit which also leads to Kansas State University, our local land grant university — brags to the passerby that one Kansas farmer feeds 128 people plus you.
Back to the subjects in the Rockwell painting. What became of them? Mom and Dad and Grandpa must be gone, but where are the kids? I dialed the 219 area code, asked the operator for Portland, Indiana, and the number for any Rippey in the phone book. I dialed one of the offered numbers and a Mr. Rippey answered, a relative of the late county agent. From him I learned that the father in the painting, the one off to the left in the shadows with the cat on his shoulder, farmed to the end and was killed by a registered bull on his farm. He gave me the name of the dutiful 4-H girl holding the calf, the one with her 4-H record book displayed. Gama Sue Steed married Dale Fuller of Redkey, Indiana. I called Gama Sue. Both she and her sister, Sharon — the one with the sewing project — left the farm to marry and raise children. They never farmed. Brother Larry, the one with the poultry project, had farmed until he died in 1988. I finally asked the question: Are any of the children of the kids in the painting farming? The answer was "no."
Just described is the complication one often encounters in a discussion of what has been lost with the decline of agrarianism in America. Nostalgia complicates the story, the desire for the stimulation urban life offers enters in. Lateral mobility which upward mobility makes possible comes into play. The wish for ease, the understandable push to make a farm more productive, the reliance on experts, the 200-year-old notion of progress, economics, fashion, trendiness, and more complicate any discussion"

Tells a story of an agent who overcomes a beating.
We rescued Frank from the Pulaski County Human Society in 2009 . After seeing Agent "F" (Frank the Pug ) in Men in Black we knew what his name was going to be. After we got him we took him to the local minor league baseball ballpark for a special promotion night called Paws in the Park. A man stopped us as we were walking in and said....... "Please tell me his name is Frank." You gotta love it.
