<p>Thomas Burgoyne (1827-1920) came to South Australia from Wales in 1849. After failing to find gold in Victoria, he returned to South Australia and began an extraordinarily varied career, initially as an builder and architect in the Port Augusta area and then as a 'journalist, stationowner, wellsinker, roadbuilder and politician, suiting his profession to the circumstances in which he found himself.' (Register, 10 June 1915, p5). He was a member of the House of Assembly from 1884 to 1915.
