Many of William Light's personal papers and sketchbooks were destroyed in a fire at his cottage in Adelaide in January 1839. Fortunately, some were saved and give us an insight into his decisions for the planning of Adelaide and also his character. Many of the surviving sketches bear the signs of the fire with charred edges.
