Background

John Hart, the namesake of "Hart's Mill".

After his final voyage to England in 1846 John Hart settled near Port Adelaide, where he joined with H. Kent Hughes as merchants Hughes and Hart then, as Hart & Company, established large and successful flour mills. The flour mill at Port Adelaide, now colloquially referred to as Hart's Mill, was regarded as one of the best, and "Hart's Flour" commanded the highest prices in Australia.[1]
