This journey was part of a series of voyages that connected the United Kingdom to Australia, facilitating the transportation of passengers and goods during the mid-19th century.

Over its years of service, the ship played a role in the maritime history of the United Kingdom and Australia.

[9] On 27 June 1967, a historical plaque and mosaic was strategically placed in a prominent location by the City of Salisbury on the corner of Victoria Dr and Port Wakefield Rd, carefully chosen to commemorate the significant event that occurred on 13 March 1910, known as the Wittber hop.

[10] Bolivar lies beside Barker Inlet and is bounded on the south by the Little Para River and on the east by Port Wakefield Road.

[14] Waste water that is not used for irrigation of market gardens or reticulation at Mawson Lakes is discharged via an open outfall channel 11 km long near St Kilda at the northern end of the Barker Inlet.

There is a dedicated pumped trunk sewer delivering the raw sewage from the former site to Bolivar.

[16] The South Australian Museum has a dedicated facility adjacent to the wastewater treatment plant that is used for the preparation of large specimens, such as whale skeletons.

On 13 March 1910 during taxiing test by Mr. Wittber the plane (a Bleriot monoplane) became unexpectedly airborne in a hop caused by a gust of wind known as the Wittber hop,[9] four days later Frederic Custance made Australia's first monoplane flight on 17 March 1910 in a paddock at Bolivar, South Australia.

[18] In the depicted scene, the City of Salisbury celebrates its heritage with a plaque and mosaic commemorating the Wittber Hop, highlighting the achievements of Australia's first pioneering flights.
