Portrait of Thomas Dickinson Phillips from Ti Tree from the S.A. Northern Pioneers' composite, 1850-1859 (shown in position on B 6912/1). ('Teatree' is spelling in his obituary in the 'Observer')


Thomas Dickinson Phillips arrived in South Australia about 1860, and entered the service of Mr. J. H. Angas at Collingrove. From there he was transferred to the Wirrialpa and Teatree stations, to the east of' Blinman, in the far north.  He later became manager of these stations, and continued to occupy that position until a short time before his death owing to ill health in 1903.
