An abstract aerial representation of the inner city suburb of Norwood, centred on a street named after Adelaide's first colonial treasurer – Osmond Gilles
•
Gilles migrated to the new Australian colony on HMS Buffalo in 1836 accompanied by his ward Emily Blunden (referred to as Blundell on the passenger list), sister of Dr John Blunden, and acted as the Colonial Treasurer. He was a prominent businessman and land owner, with the largest holdings of any settler in 1837. He was, with his secretary William Finke, and a few others, the fortunate ticket-holder in the ballot for the purchase of city acres at Glenelg, of which he took full advantage. He sat on the Street Naming Committee on 23 May, 1837. Osmond Terrace Norwood is one of many places in Adelaide named after Osmond Gilles.
