| History/Origin | This Hundred is named after Michael Stewart Guy, who had joined the Royal navy at the age of 14 and had served on the Rodney & Stromboli in the Black Sea during the Crimean War. He was afterwards engaged in marine surveying, arriving in the Colonies at Tasmania in 1861. He came to South Australia under Commander Hutchison on the HMS Beatrice when he made his first trip to the Northern Territory. He died in North Adelaide from inflammation of the lungs on 4 July 1869 aged 29 years. The Hundred takes in the coastal plain area west of the Adelaide River and contains the 1954 Humpty Doo Rice Project area and the original 'Umpity Doo' Agricultural Lease surveyed in 1908/1910. |
