Thomas Gilbert (pioneer)
Thomas Gilbert (1789–1873), a pioneer in South Australia, was its first Colonial Storekeeper (a government official responsible for all government stores) and its first Postmaster.
==London Origins==
Prior to coming to Australia, Thomas Gilbert worked in Leadenhall Street, London, with his brother William as opticians to the East India Company. Their "experiments for the improvements of glasses were so extensive that the Government assisted them by a suspension of the Excise supervision, so that their large outlay should not be increased by the payment of duty".〔The South Australian Register, June 17, 1873, Adelaide..〕 Many early South Australian settlers were those who had relinquished good positions in Britain to help establish "a model state which would not reproduce the inequalities of older countries".〔(Article about Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton ), sources: G. W. E. Russell, Lady Victoria Buxton: a Memoir, with some account of her husband, 1919. Contributor: F. F. (Fox ) Published: 1927. Accessed 6 July 2008.〕
