There is a book called 'The Rumbelows of Encounter Bay - 150 years of the family in Australia' and is a wonderful resource.  Your local library may be able to get it in for you.
The only copy I have located is at the State Library of SA - it cannot be borrowed I have had to book a reading session to look at it.

Hoping to do that tomorrow and, if it's good, would be keen to still get a copy but no idea where/how?

Never mind - read the book on Thursday and was disappointed to find 99% of it was family tree.  Lots of detail about each person, it was fascinating don't get me wrong, but I was hoping for more about what the Rumbelows did.  They clearly played a major, MAJOR role in a very wide range of aspects to Encounter Bay and Victor Harbor... but I can only dig up very small bits of information, was hoping to read a full story about it.

I have been trying to get a copy of this book, but it does not appear to be available anywhere anymore.
