Before migrating to South Australia the settlers had been exposed to promotional material 'selling' the health benefits of the new colony. Arriving in South Australia they encountered an unfamiliar environment and sought to make sense of it. However, the personal experiences of new arrivals often contrasted with the promised image of an ideal, healthy place.
