This Proclamation, issued by Governor Hindmarsh and read out by him to the assembled immigrants who had disembarked from the Buffalo at Glenelg in December 1836, notified the settlers that government was in place in the new 'Province of South Australia'. The Proclamation has been read publicly at a ceremony on 28 December each year since.
