In order to get more accurate results, our search has the following Google-Type search functionality:
If you use '+' in front of a word, then that word will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry +Potter will return results with the word 'Potter'.
If you use '-' in front of a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry -Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry AND Potter will return results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
If you use 'OR' between two words, then bth of those words may or may not be present in the search results.
ex: Harry OR Potter will return results with just 'Harry', results with just 'Potter' and results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
If you use 'NOT' before a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry NOT Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
Placing '""' around words will perform a phrase search. The search results will contain those words in that order.
ex: "Harry Potter" will return any results with 'Harry Potter' in them, but not 'Potter Harry'.
Using '*' in a word will perform a wildcard search. The '*' signifies any number of characters. Searches can not start with a wildcard.
ex: Pot*er will return results with words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er'. In this case, 'Potter' will be a match.
In South Australia, the Cornish connection with the state's copper mining communities is well-known and deservedly celebrated. So too is the influence of the South Australian Cornish in other parts of the continent, especially neighbouring Broken Hill and Victoria.
But mining was only ever part of their story. They were, as this volume makes clear, much more than miners, their distinctive impact readily apparent in an array of 'Cornish' cultural and social activities, notably music and Methodism. Besides, not all Cornish immigrants were miners, with many Cornish men and women involved in a wide variety of other occupations, particularly farming.
This important collection of essays illuminates this extraordinary diversity, adding new depth and new insights to the endlessly fascinating story of the South Australian Cornish.
