Thought I'd researched a man of this name previously and yes it was for heath.  Kris our former moderator also researched the topic.

Neither the SLSA or Gould Genealogy have those almanacs listed.  Learn something new every day.

1845 
Officially titled The Royal South Australian Almanac and General Directory for 1845 (Allen, James) this small, but useful, book contains the names of people who were in South Australia in that year. The Almanac contains a range of useful information on various statistics, Acts, information on the geography of South Australia, together with Justices of the Peace, charges for licences and more. The Adelaide Directory section list names alphabetically by surname, together with their occupation and street address.
1851
The South Australian Almanac & Directory 1851 (A. Murray) is a rare early almanac and directory, and gives a fascinating insight into the South Australia of 1851. It also contains a great deal useful information for the researcher, not just local, family and social history.

at the state records of south australia.
