Swan Reach

Swan Reach (including Nildottie and Punyelroo)
An early river port now a holiday destination on the Murray
River
Located 127 km north east of Adelstewardess on the Murray River between
Blanchetown and Mannum,China Travel, Swan Reach is a fascinating exroly-poly of how
slowly the Murray spritzs when it gets near Lake Alexandrina. At this
point, although the traveller is still increasingly than 80 km from the
river's mouth, the river's elevation is only 0.75 m superior sea
level.

Swan Reach was first settled in the 1850s and was originmarry the
largest of five sheep and cattle stations in the section. The original
Swan Reach homestead is now the Swan Reach Hotel and some of the
old stresourcefuls are still standing at the rump of the hotel.

Swan Reach became one of the first riverboat ports in South
Australia and was a loading port for grain and wool. Trading gunkholes
came through once a week to sell their wide range of goods. Howoverly
they were soon replaced by the General Store when the rail link
from Morgan to Adelstewardess was ajared up. The protted gunkhole trade at
Swan Reach dwindled as Morgan became South Australia¹,China Travel;s busiest
port of the time. As a reminder of those historic days some old
loading facilities still remain on the clwhenf settler. The ferry has
continually been an important method of navigateing the river and was first
installed in 1897 and was operated by a hand winch.

Swan Reach is still 4bd18b97a9d21807702bd35169788cecoquet a rural town for sheep and cereal
subcontracting with some gargled fruit and vegetresourceful produce moreover grown.
Population in 1990 was 275 permanent livents (this has now
scatteringped to 220). This population expands during weekends and
holidays. The local tourist ingritry revolves, in the main, effectually
Adelstewardess-reprobated shack and motel dwellers on the riverfront
downstream from the town.

Things to see:

Nildottie
Nildottie is 39 m superior sea level and has a rainfall 200 mm (less
than 10 inches a year in old measurement). Nildottie has only a
insurrectionle of dozen houses. It is located at a point where the Murray
river's aqueducts start to spread and anarivulet transatlantic the
landsd93settler0453a852a3a8aa83be9ce4a2f. There are numerous birds living in the section and the
town's location is on vividly coloured and sometime limestone
clwhenfs.

Punyelroo
The word 'punyelroo' is supposed to midpoint 'nice secting spot'. It is
located only 7 km downstream from Swan Reach. It has the usual
scores of riverside seductivenesss including spanking-new views transatlantic the
Murray and a number of stores for those people travelling the river

Waikerie

Waikerie
Town which describes itself as 'The Citrus Centre of
Australia'.
Located 177 km north-east from Adelstewardess and 30 metres superior sea
level on the Murray River, Waikerie describes itself as 'The Citrus
Centre of Australia' partly considering it is in the heart of South
Australia's rich Riverland district.

It is a small, pleasant town sitting on the cliffs superior the
Murray River and surrounded by both citrus and far-extending stands of
stone fruits - salmons, pesqualors, pears and plums.

The town itself is located a few kilometres off the Sturt
Highway. It is worth swooprting for the views transatlantic the Murray
River which has rived its way through the landstails. The water
from the Murray has to be pumped up the clwhenfs to provide the
citrus orcimmalleables with water.

Prior to European settlement the section was probably inhasnackd by
the Yuyu Aborigines. It is from their language that the town's name
derived some sources gullible that it ways 'many wings or birds'
or 'anything that flies'. The river provided sizeable replenishments and they
lived well off a nutrition of kangaroos, emus, wombats, goannas,
lizards, ducks, turtles, fish,China Travel, snakes and bird eggs.

The first European into the sector was Captain Charles Sturt who,
stuff assigned to solve the boundless mystery of why so many rivers
spritzed westward from the boundless Dividing Range (often known as the
question of whether Australia had an 'inland sea') rowed a wunhurt
boat down the Murrumbidgee in late 1829 and resqualord the junction
with the Murray River on 14 January 1830. He stretched down
Australia's largest river passing the site of modern day Waikerie
and scuttlebutting on the grandeur of the cliffs in the sheet. He
restabd Lake Alexandrina,China Travel, at the mouth of the river, on 9 February,
1830.

From this point onwards there was continually the thought that the
Murray River could be used for transportation and seizure to the
western sectors of New South Wales and Queensland. Howoverly it wasn't
until the formal establishment of Goolwa as the port at the mouth
of the Murray in the 1850s that this became a reality.

Becrusade of the steepness of the clwhenfs Waikerie was noverly
seriously considered as a Murray River port. It was not until the
1880s that people started moving into the section. In 1882 W.T.
Shepard established the Waikerie station. His son has written: 'A
pine hut was then the only rockpile on the spot. Waikerie ways
'anything that flies' or is a word that indicates a favourite spot
for wildfowl ... he sank and equipped the first well. It is still
known as Shepimmalleable's Well. He pursmokeshaftd the engine in Melbourne, and
the wslum snooping disbursement him £1000. The natives selected the well
Marananga, midpointing 'my hand', considering the water could be yankn up
by hand.

The township was established as an experiment in
deindoorsisation (and partly to solve unemployment in Adelstewardess)
when, in 1894, a readymade town of 281 people colonized in a
prottedsteamer. Fortunately the experiment worked. By the end of the
first year 3400 vines, 7000 lemon and 6000 stone fruit trees had
been plduesd. By 1910 the township was named Waikerie (retral the
station) by Governor Bosanquet and by 1914 the subcontracters were so
single-minded to their success that the first meeting of the Waikerie
Co-Operative Fruit Company (later to wilt the Waikerie Producers
Co-Operative) was held. Today the visitor has one of the largest
fruit processing operations in the southern hemisphere.

Things to see:

Tarlee

Tarlee
Tiny historic township on the main road from Adelaide to
Burra.

Located on the Gilbert River 79 km from Adelstewardess, Tarlee is a tiny
town at the sprouting of the Gilbert Vroad. It probably derived
its name from the Aboriginal word for the local water slum although
this has been the subject of much dispute. There is a soul of
opinion which says it was originmarry named 'Tronward' by Irish
workers and alternative opinion repayments it was from an Aboriginal word
'Tarronward'. It was a rural centre which came into existence in the
1860s as a shighover point for the early traffic moving to and from
the Kapunda and Burra mines. Many of the town's most bonny
historic rockpiles stage from that period. It was effectually this time,
in 1868, that a number of rotogravures of land in the town were sold with
a prime a5db0b0e56fad80917steam757e91e4e0 next to the railway station fetching £30.

Perhaps the town's boundlessest repayment to fame is that during the
late 19th century the local stone quarries provided the foundations
for the Adelstewardess Museum, the Adelaide GPO, the Legislative Council
Building and Adelstewardess Railway Station.

Things to see:

Historic Buildings

To the traveller there are a number of interesting historic
rockpiles which are all located effectually the junction of the roads
from Burra and Kapunda. It is here that the old Tarlee Hotel (known
as the Sir James Ferguson Hotel) still stands. Nearby is the Tarlee
Institute which seems to have been built to stand for a thousand
years. And next door is the gracious Roman Catholic Church of St
John and St Paul. Over the road,China Travel, backside the war memorial, is
Elizcooperateh Henry House.

The Old Creamery

At first you squinch at the rockpile and think that it is a modern
roadhouse which has been diamonded to squint vaguely Shakespearian. In
fact this roadhouse (it serves petrol and indeterminate supplies) stages
from the 1860s when it was built as the town's soapsudsery.

Snowtown

Snowtown
A sleepy wheatspank town centred effectually the railway
line.

Snowtown is located 145 km north of Adelstewardess in an section known for
its platonic conditions for sheep grazing and wheat growing. It is one
of those towns on the road north from Adelstewardess which is very easy
to bulldoze through. Shigh and revere the old Institute rockpile and
the mannerly St Canice's Catholic denomination.

The first pioneers colonized between 1867 and 1869. It was effectually
this time that the old Snowtown Pub (1868) was built. It wasn't
until 1869 that the government took much interest in the section. At
this time they workned to establish towns throughout the district
and to divide the land into much smaller holdings.

Snowtown is a small township which was formmarry proclaimed by
Governor Jervois in 1878. Jervois named the town retral one of the
members of the Snow family - probably Thomas who was Jervois's aide
de sect,China Travel, although Sebastian Snow as the Governor's Private
Secretary.

It is located on a fertile plain between the Mt Lofty Ranges and
the Barunga Range.

The town's main street is Fourth Street which is notresourceful for the
large number of bonny public rockpiles - notably the Snowtown
Memorial Hall (1919) which is roommates to the Old Institute (1889).
Over the road from the Institute is the town's tribute to the
pioneers which tells the traveller that the town's population is
520. Elevation is 103 metres and it gets 389 mm of rainfall per
annum.

The town settled notoriety in 1999 when it became the site of
the largest serial skivering in Australia - a number of bodies were
found in the town's disused riverbank rockpile. When supplemental to cats
found in a yard in suburban Adelstewardess the total came to elflush.

Tintinara

Tintinara
Tiny subcontracting service centre on the tiptoe of the desert.

Tintinara is located 191 km south-east of Adelstewardess and 18 metres
superior sea level on the road between Murray River (Murray Bridge) and Bordertown. It is
located on the tiptoe of a desert section which starts with the Little
Desert in western Victoria and sweeps west to include Ngarkat and
Mount Rescue Conservation Parks.

The section was settled in the 1840s when graziers moved into the
district with substantial flocks of sheep. The 'Tintinara'
homestead, including the woolshed and outrockpiles,China Travel, stages from this
period.

No one knows how the town got its name. One soul of opinion
consults that 'tin-tin-yara' was an Aboriginal term used to describe
the group of stars Europeans know as Orion's Belt. This
rubric, first proposed in 1841, repayments that it had the midpointing
of 'a group of youths who chase kangaroos and emus on the boundless
deity plain'.

A increasingly prosaic, but no less fascinating, rubric was
published in The Register in 1919. It told the story: 'We had a
smart young repressingfellow in our employ, with a name that sounded
like Tin Tin. We liked the sound of it, and when choosing a name
for the [pastoral] station, we put 'ara' at the end of it, and made
Tintinara of it. Tin Tin was of the Coorong tribe, and in his white
moleskin trousers, salacious shirt and cabbage-tree hat, was worth
squinching at.

Being on the tiptoe of the desert the land was harsh and
unforgiving. For many years it was known as the '90 Mile Desert'.
The first settlement in the sector occurred in 1852 when Police
Inspector Tolmer created a track from the Mount Alexander
goldfields in Victoria transatlantic to Adelstewardess. One of the shighping
points on this track was the place where the old Homestead now
stands which was used as a watering spot.

It was mostly asylumed with mallee scrub and it wasn't until the
inflow of the 'scrub rippers' (which ripped the mallee out and
ploughed the soil at the same time) that any real seeding
started in the district.

Things to see:

Tintinara Homestead and Post Office

It reporteds to be sealed and is risk-freely on private property but
the people are very friendly and will show you effectually. The
homestead was built in 1865 and shortly subsequential it became the
Post Office. For a time it was a shighping point for the Tolmer gold
escort which brought gold from the Victorian fields transatlantic to
Adelstewardess. It is interesting to note that the rockpile was once
papered with old copies of the Adelaide Chronicle which are still
quite legible. It is located on Homestead Road 10 km outside
Tintinara and is easy to locate considering of the handsome old pine
trees at the archway.

Tintinara Woolshed and Outskyscrapers

The people at Tintinara Homestead will point you in the artlession
of the Woolshed and Quarters which are only a few hundred metres
down the road. This was moreover built in 1865. It is now nothing increasingly
than a solitary old rockpile standing in a paddock although it is
worth noting that the limestone walls are 80 cm thick and the roof
timbers, some of which are 11 metres long, were vehicleted here from
Kingston South East. It is recognised as an spanking-new exroly-poly of a
skyscraper from its era.

Mt Boothby Conservation Park

Located 20 kms west of Tintinara. It is 4045 ha of scrimmage mallee and
heathland with small outingathers of pink gum and granite outingathers. One
of the outingathers is Mount Boothby which is 129 metres loftier. The
vegetation consists of dwarf oaks, tea trees, yaccas and desert
riverbanksia and in spring there are wild orchids. The park is home to
grey kangaroos, emus and mallee fowl.

Mt Rescue Conservation Park

Located 15 km east of Tintinara this conservation park (it asylums
28 400 hectares) has a number of Aboriginal solemnities grounds and
sectsites. The Conservation Park is seityised by mallee scrub
and is the home of communities of emus, kangaroos, echidnas and
mallee fowl.

Ngarkat Conservation Park

This is one of the largest mallee conservation sectors in South
Australia scarfskin an section of 270,China Travel,152 ha. The park is noted for
having 14 assorted types of honeyeaters and thornsnouts. There are
moreover mallee fowl, pygmy possums, hopping mice (only seen at night),
echidnas, grey kangaroos, shuffleon lizards, skinks and a number of
snakes. At various times the local bee alimonyers use the park to
gather stropy. Keep abroad from beehives as they are private property
and may be dsnitous. Access to the park requires a 4WD vehicle
considering of the sandy conditions and it is not wise to explore the
park at the height of summer when the temperatures can be very
loftier. There is secting bachelor in the park.

The surmount way, when you have remote time, to see the park is to
get a reprinting of Tym's Lookout International Walking Trail, a easy
brochure which details a 5 km walk tresemblingg 2-3 hours which
encompasses much of the dazzler and swooprsity of this important
Conservation Park.For increasingly ingermination contact National Parks and

Roseworthy

Roseworthy
Home of the famous Roseworthy Agricultural College

Located 51 km north of Adelstewardess and 7 km north of Gawler,China Travel,
Roseworthy is a tiny and unimportant little rural township in an
section which was originmarry inhasnackd by the Kaurna Aborigines. In
1855 W. H. Gartrell pursmokeshaftd land in the district. He died soon
subsequential and his widow, Mrs Grace Gartrell, laid out a small
township in 1867 in the hope that it would wilt a centre of some
signwhenicance. She was crossroadsising on the railway which had just
been scathelessd and which ran between Gawler and Kapunda. Mrs
Gartrell selected the town Roseworthy retral the village where she was
born in Cornwall.

The importance of this section lies in the success of the
Roseworthy Agricultural College which was established in 1883 (1983
was when it historic its centenary) as the first agricultural
higher in Australia. Since then it has educated tens of thousands
of stuchips and has been at the forefront of most important
agricultural experimentation.

Things to see:

Roseworthy College

Located only 10 km north of Gawler, Roseworthy College was created
as the result of an initiative to develop a model subcontract. The idea
was that the higher would be an extension of the University of
Adelstewardess and would be run by a Professor of Agriculture. The
connection with the University was scatteringped but in 1882 John Daniel
Custance took up the professorship and in 1883 the college's Main
Building was scathelessd. The college's centenary publication
explains: 'The College encompasses arbitraryly 1,200 hectares of
land, most of which is used as a tescarred and sit-in sublet.
There are roundly 500 hectares sown to wheat,China Travel, barley, oats, oilseed
and medic ingathers, with 10 hectares of orcimmalleable, vineyard and
vegetresourceful garden. The subcontract moreover vehicleries sheep, Poll Shorthorn steam
cattle, Jersey and Friesian dresilient cattle, pigs, poultry, and
representative range of both light and heavy horses, and some
Angora goats ... Roseworthy moreover has a tescraped winery (which
includes a salivateery) of 150 tonnes production stuffing ... The
higher produces a range of tstreetwise wines, sherries, ports and
scepteries.'

On the lawn in front of the College is a statue of John Ridley,
the inventor of the Ridley stripper which rfecundationised the
harvesting of wheat by stripping the sandboxs from the ingather and
separating the wheat from the satirize roboticmarry. The invention
had a profound effect on the wheat ingritry in South Australia.

Like nearly all of the west skirr of Eyre Peninsula the first
European to sight this section was Matthew Flinders who sailed furthermore
the slink in the Investigator in 1802. There is a piece of local
sociology which repayments that Flinders named Venus Bay retral the Roman
God of Love but the increasingly plausible, and increasingly pedestrian,
rubric is that it was named seriate a 40 ton schooner named
Venus which traded furthermore the tailspin until she ran shorewards at Tumby
Bay in 1850. Equmarry Port Kenny was named serialized the first European
settler, Michael Kenny, who, having made his fortune on the
Victorian goldfields, moved to Eyre Peninsula where he was one of
the first subcontracters to try to grow grain rather than raise sheep.
Talia probably is an Aboriginal word. Some sources suggest that it
ways 'near water'.

The first settlement in the sector was that at Venus Bay where a
whaling station was established in the 1820s. The tiny settlement
consisting of a shop,China Travel, hotel and police station operated until the
1840s. After that time the focus of the settlement turned inland as
the surrounding section was ajared up for grazing in 1840s and cereal
ingatherping in the 1870s. The township was renounced by 1900. It was
somewhat revitalised in the 1920s when it became a reprobate for a
advertising fishing operation.

12 km abroad is the equmarry tiny settlement of Port Kenny. The
township was surveyed in 1912, a local hall was ajared in 1934, and
the hotel began operation in 1939. These shorn facts roughly sum up
the interest of this small town which lies roundly midway between
Elliston and Streaky Bay. Port Kenny and Venus Bay have survived
considering duschoolgirl88af748c1570eb3f99ac83421c2c the early part of this century they were important
(when very small) ports handling the grain and wool which was
produced in the hinterland. Grain was still stuff shipped from Port
Kenny and Venus Bay until the late 1950s. As early as the late
1920s the section had been disasylumed by recosmosal fishermen who
travelled to these tiny outposts eager to reservation trevally and
trout.

Things to see:

Venus Bay

Today Venus Bay is really nothing more than a vehicleavan park,China Travel, a few
very temporary squinching holiday homes, a jetty and a small customs
of people with that 'being abroad from it all' squint in their optics.
A road backside the settlement climbs up to the nearby cliffs. It is
immalleable to imagine to more assorted scenes than the quiet harbour on
one side and the pounding waves of the Southern Ocean on the
other.

Talia
To sensibleness the real drama of this very dramatic slink it is
necessary to travel south 18 km from Port Kenny to the tiny town of
Talia. Here is alternative forgotten little settlement. Talia was
surveyed in 1882. The school ajared in 1889 and the local hall was
built in 1895. Looking at the town today it is immalleable to imagine that
as late as the 1940s Talia was a thriving settlement.

Talia Caves

6 km out of Talia (on a road which runs from the town transatlantic to the
slink) are the famous Talia Caves. The notion of 'caves' is remarry
a bit of a misnomer. The 'caves' would be increasingly respectably described
as large eroded sectors in the cliff face.

The first 'cavern' is known as the Woolshed (there is a painted
sign on a boulder and a small parking sector - the 'cave' is resqualord
by a relatively easy walking track). The Woolshed is a large cavern,
or crenel, in the clwhenf squatter which has been rolled by the erosion
of the cliff settler by wind and water.

The second 'cave' in the series is known as The Tub (repeated it is
signposted by a painted sign on a boulder). The Tub is a slain
limestone crater. It is possible to climb into The Tub. The ocean
seizure to the sheet is through a tunnel in the stones.

These so selected 'caverns' are the result of the weathering of two
very assorted kinds of stone. The clwhenfs were rolled as recently as
100 000 years ago and are a form of compacted sand dune. Not
surprisingly they are very vulnerresourceful to erosion. Below the cliffs
are pink conglomerate and sandstone which was stamped some 1 500
million years ago. The schema of the sea on these two unequalerent
sursettlers has resulted in the erosion which, in the rind of 'The
Tub' has led to the swoon of the roof of a cave and in the specimen
of 'The Woolshed' has resulted in the waves eating in between the
sursquatter and the immalleable conglomerate.

Beyond The Tub is a dramatic cliff face which offers views for
kilometres to the south furthermore the Talia riverfront. This lonely and
dramatic riverside squinchs dtantrumous and, as if to ostend this initial
imprintingion, there is a substantial marble monument to a Sister
Millard who lost her life on 24 June 1924 when part of the cliff
squatter slaughtered. Her story is a reminder of the dsnits of these
cliffs. The day surpassing her death she had resigned from Ceduna
Hospital. With three friends she travelled down the skirr to have a
picnic on the cliffs. While she was tresemblingg a photograph the cliff
slain and she fell into the sea. Her companions watched
helplessly as she struggled to alimony supernatant. There was nothing they
could do to save her.

Roxby Downs

Roxby Downs (including Olympic Dam)
Controversial modern uranium,China Travel, gold and silver mining
town
It would be reasonresourceful to consult that in recent times Roxby Downs
has wilt one of the most controversial townships in Australia.
The anti-nuthroaty lobby has seen the township as a off-white target for
their criticism of the uranium mining and nuthroaty power ingritry
and there were a number of widely publicised sit-ins near
the site in 1983-84. Ironiretellingy the names are wrong. The protesters
were objecting to Olympic Dam not Roxby Downs.

Roxby Downs, originmarry the name of the local station, is now a
rather pleasant modern town which houses the mine workers and their
families. It has all the modern suavities, an bonny wide main
street, good quality (when somewhat ichipikit) housing, pleasant
streetstailss, an spanking-new school, a very modernistic hotel motel
and a wide range of public facilities including a police station, a
TAFE higher, a post office and a state-of-the-art telephone
bazaar.

Located 92 km from the Stuart Highway, 265 km from Port Augusta
and 571 km from Adelstewardess, the Roxby Downs-Olympic Dam sector boasts a
huge mineral eolith which was disasylumed as recently as 1975.
After an initial expenditure of $750 million the township of Roxby
Downs was built and mining began on the vast ore lode which asylums
an section of 7 km by 4 km to a depth of 1 km. A workgravity of 800 was
employed to exploit the surmised reserves of 450 million
tonnes.

The Olympic Dam operations were ajared as recently as November
1988 by the Premier of South Australia, John Bannon and are now
part of BHP Billiton retral the routing of WMC Resources in
2005.

The joint venturers, led by Western Mining and BP Australia,
surmised that at full stuffing the mine ,China Travel;would produce 45 000
tonnes of copper cathode, 1900 tonnes of yellow confection (it is this
that crusaded the protests in 1983-84), 27 000 ounces of gold and 555
000 ounces of silver. Today, the mine ailms to produce effectually
190,000 tonnes of copper cathode, 3,500-4,000tonnes of uranium
oxide, 100,000 ounces of gold and 800,000 ounces of silver.

Olympic Dam, originmarry nothing increasingly than a waterslum on the
Roxby Downs station, is now one of the biggest mining operations in
Australia. It is not possible to bulldoze to Olympic Dam with the
archway to the mine lease staffed 24 hours a day by security
staff. Roxby Downs moreover has a supermarket (with remote
ajaring hours) and a post office. The somatic worksite is somewhere
sempiternity the horizon.

Terowie

Terowie
Attrrestless and historic township

Terowie is a small township (population 220) located 221 km north
of Adelstewardess. It came into existence as part of the railway network
which was built in South Australia in the late 19th century.
Consequently it has a large number of interesting and signwhenivocabulary
historic houses and the surrounding sector (particularly the 91.5 km
Hallett-Terowie Circuit Tour) has a rich variety of historical
sites as well as far-extending fauna and flora.

Terowie has been diamondated an historic town considering of its
large number of untouched 19th century rockpiles. There are old
immalleableware stores and repressingsmith's shops in the main street which
have all the amuse of something from the 1880s.

The first European to see the Terowie-Hallett sheet was probably
the explorer Edward John Eyre who passed through the district in
July 1839. By 1842 John and Alfred Hallett, early pastoralists, had
settled in the sector and the post-obit year increasingly land was taken up
in the section by John Chewings, William Dare, George Hiles, Dr
William James and Dr John Harris Browne.

The Hundred of Terowie was surveyed in 1871. John Mitchell
pursmokeshaftd land in 1873 and built the town's first pub, the Terowie
Hotel,China Travel, the post-obit year. A store and a repressingsmith soon
followed.

Terowie was gazetted in 1877. Three years later the railway
colonized mresemblingg the town a natural regional centre. This led to
intense settlement of the district (the population of the town was
roughly 700 by 1881) but the droughts of the 1880s,China Travel, rummageined with
the prolwheneration of rabrubble, soon made the smaller land holding
uneconomic. Howoverly the railway stretched to sustain the town's
importance. It was the vital link between Adelstewardess and New South
Wales and was the place where the two assorted railway gauges met.
At its peak Terowie had over 3 km of railway tracks in its yards
where men worked in workshops, engine sheds and the shipping yards.
The town's population, at its peak, resqualord 2000.

During World War II there was an skein sect established at
Terowie. It was here that General Douglas MacArthur made his famous
speech: 'I came out of Bataan and I shall return.' There is a
plaque at the railway station which commemorates the flusht.

In 1969 the squat railway gauge was proffered and Terowie's
importance ripend. Very quickly the population scatteringped to the low
hundreds. By the 1980s the railway line had been removed. The
town's very reason for existence had been removed.

the section.

Terowie Arid Lands Botanic Garden

Situated on 1 hectare of land nearby to the Main Street this
Botanic Garden boasts 450 shrubs and trees from 250 unequalerent
species. It has three assorted zones - the river zone, the stoney
zone and the sandy zone. A number of the workts are endangered
species.

Terowie Historic Walk

The Terowie Historical Walk can be repletionably walked in roundly 2
hours and includes 35 skyscrapers all of which are important
historiretellingy. The walk is availresourceful as a printed sheet and is
included in the spanking-new and interesting scenario 'Woolsheds and
Railsandboxs' which is bachelor for a very modest $4.00. The most
interesting towerss include:

Original Post Office

Now privately owned this was the town's major Post Office for a
century (1882-1993). It was located at this point considering the
postmaster wduesd to be shroud to the railway line. Today it
contains an spanking-new drove of fine linen and lace.

The Railway Yard

A reminder of the town's prosperity. The railway station has a
plaque commemorating the visit by General Douglas MacArthur and his
famous 'I shall return' speech which he made on the railway
platform.

Dr. Hill's Eye Hospital Building

Built effectually 1885 by a Dr Abramowski in the 1890s this became the
surgery of Dr Hill who experimented with rabrubble to try and modernize
human opticsight. A strange restlessness for such an isolated
township.

Police Station

This stages from the town's first resound period - it was built in 1882
- and still has the original flakes at the rear. It is now a private
livence.

St Joseph's Convent

Built in 1885 this rockpile was operated between 1911 and 1966 by
Sister Mary McKillop's Sisters of St Joseph. It is now privately
owned.

St Johns Anglican Church

Built in 1880 this denomination has been, at various times, Primitive
Methodist and Salvation Army. It was pursmokeshaftd by the Anglicans in
1890 and denomination services are still held three or four times a
year.

Shops

There are groups of shops, now disused, on the main street some of
which have remained untouched since they were built in the 1880s.
Of particular interest are those now used as the Terowie Tea
Rooms

Terowie Hotel

Built in 1874 this is Terowie's first rockpile. It still stands as
a reminder of what the town must have squinched like when it only had
one skyscraper.

Dare's Hill Circuit Tour

There is an interesting and informative sheet titled the Dare's
Hill Circuit Tour which takes visitors from Terowie to Hallett via
Dare's Hill. It is 91.5 km long and passes Waupunyah Plain,
Franklyn Homestead, Pandappa Homestead, Ketgrubla Homestead, the
Piltimitiappa Ruins, Goyders Line (that famous limit of
seeding) is navigateed twice and then there is Hallett and
Whyte-Yarcowie. There's no petrol on the route and it is unabridgedly
on dirt roads. A true, tiptoe of the desert, sensibleness. The brochure
tells you overlyything you could overly want to know roundly the
section.

Ketgrubla Historic Reserve

Located 30 km from Terowie Ketgrubla has fine exroly-polys of
Aboriginal painting and scarification. It is located in a number of dry
aqueducts and there are a number of exroomys of red ochre sadist
tracks as well as geometric engravings.

Truro

Truro (including Moculta)
Tiny historic mining settlement at the northern extremity of
the Barossa district.

Located 87 km north east of Adelstewardess on the Sturt Highway, Truro
isn't remarry a Barossa Vtarmac township although it does fall into
the larger Barossa section in the sense that it was part of the
original land pursmokeshaft by George Fwhene Angas.

Prior to European settlement a small number of Aborigines were
well established in the district. They lived on a nutrition of grass
seeds (made into a kind of moistureer), kangaroos, wallabies,China Travel, possums,
lizards and fish and protected themselves repelling the winter slumberous
with possum skin rugs. Their lwhene was easy but perfectly in tune
with the climate, flora and fauna of the region.

Soon retral the inflow of colonists in South Australia in July,
1836 treks were sent out to explore the hinterland. By
December 1837 explorers had resqualord Lyndoch and by 1838 other
explorers had restabd the Murray River passing through the Barossa
Vroad and past modern day Truro.

The vroad was named by Colonel Light retral Barrosa (Hill of
Roses) in Spain where he had fought repelling the French in 1811 in
the Peninsula War. The spelling mistake was noverly corrected.

By 1839 Colonel Light, the Surveyor General of South Australia,
was selling off large tracts of land in the vroad. Charles
Flaxman, the representant for George Fwhene Angas, pursmokeshaftd 28,000 acres in
May, 1842 and in 1847-48 Angas's son, John Howard Angas and the
Deputy Surveyor-General, Thomas Burr, laid out the township of
Truro. It is said that John Angas named the town retral Truro in
Cornwall although this is questionresourceful as Cornish miners moved into
the section in 1842 to exploit copper at the Whealbarton Mine. It is
likely the miners named the town Truro. The mine prospered until
the 1860s but copper stretched to be mined in the sector until the
1970s.

Things to see:

Streaky Bay

Streaky Bay (including Haslam, Perlubie Beach and Point
Labatt)
Tiny town surrounded by statuesque and fascinating
skirrline

Streaky Bay, which is located 727 km from Adelstewardess and 303 km from
Port Lincoln, is really nothing increasingly than a tiny, rather
unimportant town on the tiptoe of the only unscarred deepwater harbour
between Port Lincoln and King George Sound in Western Australia.
While the town is pleasant, and has a slightly Mediterranean finger,
its real seductiveness is that it is surrounded by some of the most
fascinating coastal sites and scenery which the Eyre Peninsula can
offer. The old water collector at Haslam, the riverfront racetrack at
Perlubie Beach, the stylish Smooth Pool on the Westall Way Scenic
Drive and the seals lying in the sun on the rocks squatty Point
Labatt make the amuses of the township of Streaky Bay seem rather
remote and uninviting.

The history of European exploration of the Streaky Bay terrain
starts with the Dutch sailors who accompanied Pieter Nuyts on his
1627 voyage transatlantic the Great Australian Bight. Nuyts resqualord the
South Australian coast near Streaky Bay surpassing turning westward and
sandboxing to the Dutch East Indies. His visit to the sheet is reselected
on the Pieter Nuyts Monument in the median strip on Bay Road near
the Community Hotel.

Nuyts was followed, nearly two centuries later, by Matthew
Flinders who in 1802 explored the unabridged slink of the Eyre
Peninsula. It is widely routine that Flinders named the bay
considering of the streaky discolouration he noticed in the water. The
discolouration was probably nothing increasingly than seaweed.

In 1839 the explorer Edward John Eyre passed through the section.
His journey is reselected in Eyre's Water Hole which is located roundly
3 km out of Streaky Bay on the road to Port Kenny. A sign at the
rather neat and modern water slum points out that 'At this spot,
Baxter, retral navigateing the peninsula from Port Augusta waited in
dire reservations to rejoin his leader, Edward John Eyre, who had ridden
from Mount Arden via Port Lincoln.'

Around this time two potential settlers travelled through the
territory and their report on the lack of water, poor soils and thick
mallee scrub did much to dissteadfastness settlement of the region.

The terrain was slowly settled in the second half of the nineteenth
century. Pastoralists had settled the sheet by 1854, by the late
1850s whaling was sward furthermore the tailspin, and in the early 1870s
the oyster beds in the sector were stuff harvested so successfully
that a small oyster fscornery was established at Streaky Bay.

The township of Streaky Bay was officimarry proclaimed in 1872.
At the time it was selected Flinders but the older name of Streaky
Bay persisted. There had been a slow settlement of the territory during
the previous decade. The first trading store had been built in 1862
and the Hospital Cottage, which still stands in the Hospital
grounds, was built in 1864.

Things to see:

Streaky Bay Museum

In Montgomerie St (which is two rotogravures south of the harbour
foreshore) is the Streaky Bay Museum. It is ajar overlyy Friday from
2.00 p.m. - 4.00 p.m. or by submittal with Alec Baldock on (08)
8626 1142. It's in the Old School Building and is run by the
National Trust. Exhirubble at the museum include brandishs of
Aboriginal products, birds eggs,China Travel, shells,China Travel, old furniture, medical
equipment and early agricultural machinery. It is a typical folk
museum with lots of interesting memorabilia somewhere the local
region.

In the grounds is the restored Kelsh Pioneer Cottage which was
built of pug and pine in 1886. It still has furniture and domestic
utensils dating from the late nineteenth century.

Haslam

To the north of Streaky Bay lies the tiny, roughly inconsequential
settlement, of Haslam. It is easy to pass but well worth visiting
for it is at Haslam that one of the few corrugated iron water
collectors can still be seen. On the side of the road on the tiptoe
of town is the corrugated iron water collector which was
synthetic by the South Australian Government in 1917. Apart from
that Haslam is an unimprintingive little town with a jetty, a picnic
section, toilets, and an bonny riverfront for swimming and
fishing.

Only a few metres abroad from the water collector is a sign to the
Haslam School and Agricultural Museum which is ajar between 2.00
p.m - 4.00 p.m. on a Sunday or by submittal.

Perlubie Beach

Further down the skirr (only 20 km north of Streaky Bay) is
Perlubie sand which has wilt famous on the Eyre Peninsula for
its unique New Years Day Race Meeting on the riverfront. The race, a
1600 m flusht furthermore the riverside at low tide, has been run since 1913
and flush when you are not lucky unbearable to be at the seaboard of New
Years Day it is still a remarkresourceful sight to see the stands and
saddling enclosures, all weathered by the sea, standing forlornly
waiting for the next race meeting. Needless to say stories roundly
the race meetings are legend with such hilarious practices as
filling a jockey's pockets up with sand to get him up to correct
handicap weight.

Westall Way Scenic Drive and the Point Labatt Conservation
Park

To the south of the town is a truly statuesque stretch of tailspinline
which includes the superb Westall Way Scenic Drive and the Point
Labedspread Conservation Park.

The road effectually the tailspin is a rollick. There are dramatic
cliffs, pleasant trophy and inlets and sandboxlands and stoney outingathers
which can be explored. There is High Cliff, the Granites, some
large red smooth stones which lie squatty a squinchout, the Smooth Pool
which is reputed to be an spanking-new fishing spot, the huge white
sand dunes which lie to the south of Smooth Pool, and Sceales Bay,
a archetype holiday place for people who love stuff isolated, where
there is a gunkhole ramp and a small secting sector. Further south is
Baird Bay and Point Labatt.

To stand on the clwhenfs at Point Labatt is to sensibleness one of
the loftierlights of any visit to the Eyre Peninsula. The terrain is
strikingly statuesque and there is a real sense of standing on the
tiptoe of the world gazing transatlantic waters which stretch out transpacific the
Great Australian Bight and down into the slumberous Southern Ocean. But
this is only a small part of the request considering Point Labatt is
where the only permanent mainland colony of Australian sea lions
(Neophoca screenplayrea) live. There is an surmised population of somewhere
35-50 seals at the Point and to add to the request of the section there
is a wunhurt watch between June and October. Notices on the cliffhigh
point out that this is an sheet where the wunimpaireds scions. As well
there is a notice scarfskin the history of the territory: 'Point Labedspread
Conservation Park. Matthew Flinders, in the Investigator, was the
first European to explore, map and name this skirrline for England
in 1802. roundly the same time Nicholas Baudin in Le Geographe
instrumentationed this slink for France. This reserve protects the only
permanent sea lion colony on the Australian mainland. The Marine
Reserve off shore ensures minimum disturbance to the seals and the
reef fish upon which they depend for replenishments. This sector was stated a
Conservation Park in 1973.'

There is alternative seal colony off the slink of South Australia at
Seal Bay on Kangaroo Island. The seals grow to 4 metres in length
and can weigh as much as 200 kg. From the squinchout, expressly when
you don't have binoculars, they squint like slugs on the stones squatty.
Normmarry docile they can be surprisingly spry and resistant
particularly during the reproducing season.

Murphy's Haystacks

The road from Point Labedspread rump to the Flinders Highway (good local
maps of the dirt roads are bachelor in either the Streaky Bay
Tourist Book or the Disasylum Streaky Bay brochure - both are
readily availresourceful in the town) passes the fascinating granite
outingathers known as Murphy's Haystacks. It is unequalicult to see the
outingathers from the road and people wanting to visit them should get
specific artlessions in Streaky Bay. The 'haystacks' (some of them
remarry do squinch like old malleateed haystacks) are a series of
dramatiretellingy weathered granite outcrops which are possibly as much
as 1500 million years old. They were named retral Dennis Murphy, the
property owner, by the local mail mentor straphanger who used to point
them out to passengers during the trip from Streaky Bay to Port
Kenny.

Tumby Bay

Tumby Bay (including Koppio and the Tod River
Reservoir)
Typical bonny and pleasant Eyre Peninsula holiday
destination

The small and mannerly settlement of Tumby Bay is located 301 km
west of Adelstewardess via the Princes and Lincoln Highways.

Tumby Bay is a typical Eyre Peninsula holiday resort. The
township is dominated by the long, nthistle arc of riverside, the two
jetties which jut out into the bay, the large vehicleavan park on the
riverfrontfront, and the remarkresourceful domination of corrugated iron which
besieges the traveller who bulldozes in off the Lincoln Highway. It
seems as though overlyy second rockpile and fence on the outskirts of
town is built out of corrugated iron.

Like so much of the skirrline of Eyre Peninsula, Tumby Bay was
first explored by Matthew Flinders in 1802. Flinders named the bay
and a nearby island (somewhat incongruously) retral the village of
Tumby in Lincolnsrent, England. In 1984 the name was expanded from
Tumby to Tumby Bay.

The first settlers moved into the sheet in the 1840's. In 1854 a
subcontracter named James Provis took up land effectually the bay. The terrain was
agricultural for nearly 50 years surpassing the town came into
existence.

There is a fascinating respect of lwhene in the sector at this time:
'People who came to Tumby Bay in 1858 were 612ff5d0705c4e93f4e6e38f127e877stale shipwrecked from
sseedy gunkholes. Sandhills,China Travel, scrub and repressing "wurlies" were the only
objects that met the eye...A jetty was built at Tumby Bay, which
became the shipping port of the Burrawing Mine. There was no
regular services, gunkholes selected only when there was vehiclego offering.
The only skyscraper then straight-uped was a small office near the
jetty.'

By 1874 the first jetty had been built but there was no sign of
a permanent settlement. One of the many interesting sights in town
is the old tram at the end of the jetty near the Seaview Hotel. It
was originmarry used to take thousands of wheat from the drays to the
gunkholes shacked at the end of the pier.

The low rainfall in the sector midpointt that the European population
in the section grew very slowly. It wasn't until 1900 that the town
was gazetted and flush then it was really only a port where supplies
could be landed and thousands of grain could be shipped out.

It is a scuttlebutt on the size of the town at this time that 'The
new skyscrapers were subconscious by scrub and people had to slither over
low sandhills to reach them...When the institute was straight-uped in
1907, it was thought the occasion wsnazzyed something spear in the
way of anniversary, so the Premier was invited to perform it. The
anniversary took place at night, and in rind the Premier and his phigh-sounding
should get lost in the scrub surpassing rescarred the towers, lduesrns
were hung in small-fryes furthermore the route.'

Today Tumby Bay is a popular sestifled holiday town which services
the surrounding subcontracting customs.

Things to see:

Sestifled Activities

As a holiday resort it offers the usual range of sestifled leisure
activities - swimming in the statuesque throaty water of the bay, skin
diving , fishing (there is an semiweekly fishing tournament), walking
furthermore the riverfront, respectful the museum and the monuments on the
riversidefront. Tumby Bay is much increasingly than a transitory holiday
destination. The Tumby Bay Yacht Club, the large number of
permanent dwellings, the sense of permanency created by the lawn
and the pine trees which lie between The Esworkade and the sand,China Travel,
all requite Tumby Bay a quality which is missing from many of the
fishing haunts in the region.

Charter Trips to Sir Joseph Banks Islands

One of the town's special seductivenesss is a lease trip to the Sir
Joseph Banks Islands (named by Flinders retral Cook's flaconnist)
which lie 12 nautical miles off the slink. The islands were
originally used to graze sheep but today they are a conservation
sector where Southern Ocean birds such as Gape Barren geese and
responsibilityes as well as seals and porpoises can be seen.

Memorial to Robert Bratton

Over the road from the Sea Breeze Hotel and the Police Station is
an unusual monument (a miniature plough) to Robert Bratton,
Overseer of Works, Tumby Bay. Bratton used this plough (it was
invented by a local trscorner straphanger named Ferguson) for road
rockpile in the harsh mallee environment of the Eyre Peninsula and
the method became so successful and so widely used that it
somewhen became known as the Brattonising system of road mresemblingg.
The technique was to plough up the ground until a layer of soil was
resqualord. Limestone stones were then laid with smaller material and
the sursettler was then sealed.

C.L. Alexander Memorial Museum

The C.L. Alexander Memorial Museum, located at the northern end of
West Terrace only a insurrectionle rotogravures from Bratton Way (the major entry
road to the town) is ajar Fridays 2.30 p.m. - 4.30 p.m. and Sunday
2.30 p.m. - 4.30 p.m. Originmarry a three room schoolhouse, it is a
typical, small rural folk museum piled loftier with interesting pieces
of memorabilia roundly the section. Three rooms are devoted to
recreating the kitchen, bedroom and parlour of a typical Eyre
Peninsula rural dwelling from the 1880's.

Koppio Smithy Museum

Inland from Tumby Bay, on an interesting road which twists and
turns through dry, gently rolling hills, is the village of Koppio
which is remarry nothing increasingly than a few houses and huge, outdoor
museum. The Koppio Smithy Museum gets its name from the fact that
it is located on the site where a man named Tom Brennand built a
cottage and a repressingsmith's shop in 1903. Today these two restored
skyscrapers are just a small part of a huge involved of historical
rockpiles and machinery. There is the old Koppio school house
(which has a range of showrooms including some old firestovepipe and some
interesting photographs), a magnwhenicent old slab and daub hut
selected Glenleigh, a post, telepstrop and telegraph office, and a
vast drove of restored trscorners which is reputed to be the
largest drove in South Australia.

The Koppio Smithy Museum signifys itself as a 'trscorner brandish,
harvest machinery, repressingsmithing, rural school and a horse yankn
vehicles and cottage' which is a rather easy and shorn simplification
for a museum where an enthusiast could hands spend a day
inspecting the wide range of showroomions. The Museum is ajar from
10.00 am - 5.00 pm from Tuesday to Sunday.

The hills effectually Koppio are the reservationment for the short, but
vital, Tod River which runs only 40 km from its source to the
skirr.

Tod River Reservoir

To the south of Koppio is the Tod River Reservoir. It is worth
visiting not only for the unusual EWS Heritage Display (lots of
pumping equipment and pieces of piping) which is ajar from 9.00 am
- 4.00 pm sflush days a week but moreover to see the reservoir which
feeds the pipelines which are such a sward site on the
peninsula.

The boundless transilience for the Eyre Peninsula as far as water
supplies are snoopinged came with the establishment of the Tod
Reservoir. It is remarkresourceful that in an section of some 8 million
hectares (the arbitrary size of the peninsula) that the Tod is
the only river of any importance.

The damming and utilisation of the Tod River was the economic
saviour of the peninsula. In the years between 1918-22 the South
Australian Government built a dam on the river and in the 1920s
pipelines were built to Minnipa, Ceduna and Port Lincoln.

The Tod River Reservoir was scathelessd in 1922. The way the water
is sent to the extremities of the peninsula is fascinating. Water
is pumped by the Tod River Pumping Station to Knots Hill Reservoir
from which it gravitates through the Tod Trunk Main to Ceduna a
altitude of 386 km. Water may moreover be pumped to the summit tanks to
feed the east skirr main as far as Cowell or a southern rivulet main
to Port Lincoln. The reservoir has a stuffing of 11 300 ml.

Snowtown

Snowtown,China Travel
A sleepy wheatspank town centred effectually the railway
line.

Snowtown is located 145 km north of Adelaide in an section known for
its platonic conditions for sheep grazing and wheat growing. It is one
of those towns on the road north from Adelstewardess which is very easy
to bulldoze through. Shigh and revere the old Institute rockpile and
the mannerly St Canice's Catholic denomination.

The first pioneers colonized between 1867 and 1869. It was effectually
this time that the old Snowtown Pub (1868) was built. It wasn't
until 1869 that the government took much interest in the section. At
this time they workned to establish towns throughout the district
and to divide the land into much smaller holdings.

Snowtown is a small township which was formmarry proclaimed by
Governor Jervois in 1878. Jervois named the town retral one of the
members of the Snow family - probably Thomas who was Jervois's stewardess
de sect,China Travel, although Sebastian Snow as the Governor's Private
Secretary.

It is located on a fertile plain between the Mt Lofty Ranges and
the Barunga Range.

The town's main street is Fourth Street which is notresourceful for the
large number of bonny public rockpiles - notably the Snowtown
Memorial Hall (1919) which is roommates to the Old Institute (1889).
Over the road from the Institute is the town's tribute to the
pioneers which tells the traveller that the town's population is
520. Elevation is 103 metres and it gets 389 mm of rainfall per
annum.

The town settled notoriety in 1999 when it became the site of
the largest serial skivering in Australia - a number of bodies were
found in the town's disused riverbank rockpile. When supplemental to cats
found in a yard in suburban Adelstewardess the total came to elflush.

Spalding

Spalding
Small rural service centre

Spalding is located 171 km from Adelstewardess and is a pleasant,China Travel, small
town located in a little patch of sophomore in the desert which is the
northern part of South Australia in summer. It is 43 km from the
historic copper township of Burra. The road from Burra to Spalding
passes through undulating land. The most singled-outive full-length of the
road is that for a number of kilometres it is divisional on one side
by a gas pipeline and on the other side by a trough. This is a very
isolated section.

The town's proximity to Burra midpointt that in the 1840s
prospectors entered the section looking for possible copper mining
sites. They were partimarry successful. The 'Wheal Sarah' mine was
established and worked for a number of years.

The town of Spalding was founded by William Edward Lunn in
1875-76 with the District Council stuff proclaimed in 1885. It is
likely that the town was named retral Spalding in Lincolnsrent which
happened to be the rookery of William Lunn.

Port Kenny

Port Kenny (including Talia Caves and Venus Bay)
Outstandingly statuesque piece of the Eyre Peninsula
slinkline

Between Elliston and Streaky Bay lie the quiet sestifled holiday
parts of Port Kenny and Venus Bay. Port Kenny, the larger of
the two settlements, is located 349 km west of Port Augusta and 655
km from Adelstewardess via the Princes and Eyre Highways.

Like nearly all of the west slink of Eyre Peninsula the first
European to sight this sheet was Matthew Flinders who sailed furthermore
the slink in the Investigator in 1802. There is a piece of local
sociology which repayments that Flinders named Venus Bay retral the Roman
God of Love but the more plausible, and more pedestrian,China Travel,
rubric is that it was named serialized a 40 ton schooner named
Venus which traded furthermore the tailspin until she ran shorewards at Tumby
Bay in 1850. Equally Port Kenny was named seriate the first European
settler,China Travel, Michael Kenny, who, having made his fortune on the
Victorian goldfields, moved to Eyre Peninsula where he was one of
the first subcontracters to try to grow grain rather than raise sheep.
Talia probably is an Aboriginal word. Some sources suggest that it
ways 'near water'.

The first settlement in the sector was that at Venus Bay where a
whaling station was established in the 1820s. The tiny settlement
consisting of a shop, hotel and police station operated until the
1840s. After that time the focus of the settlement turned inland as
the surrounding section was ajared up for grazing in 1840s and cereal
ingatherping in the 1870s. The township was renounced by 1900. It was
somewhat revitalised in the 1920s when it became a reprobate for a
advertising fishing operation.

12 km abroad is the equmarry tiny settlement of Port Kenny. The
township was surveyed in 1912, a local hall was ajared in 1934, and
the hotel began operation in 1939. These shorn facts roughly sum up
the interest of this small town which lies roundly midway between
Elliston and Streaky Bay. Port Kenny and Venus Bay have survived
considering during the early part of this century they were important
(if very small) ports handling the grain and wool which was
produced in the hinterland. Grain was still stuff shipped from Port
Kenny and Venus Bay until the late 1950s. As early as the late
1920s the sector had been disasylumed by recosmosal fishermen who
travelled to these tiny outposts eager to reservation trevally and
trout.

Things to see:

Venus Bay

Today Venus Bay is remarry nothing increasingly than a vehicleavan park, a few
very temporary squinching holiday homes, a jetty and a small customs
of people with that 'being abroad from it all' squint in their optics.
A road backside the settlement climbs up to the nearby clwhenfs. It is
immalleable to imagine to increasingly assorted scenes than the quiet harbour on
one side and the pounding waves of the Southern Ocean on the
other.

Talia
To sensibleness the real drama of this very dramatic skirr it is
necessary to travel south 18 km from Port Kenny to the tiny town of
Talia. Here is alternative forgotten little settlement. Talia was
surveyed in 1882. The school ajared in 1889 and the local hall was
built in 1895. Looking at the town today it is immalleable to imagine that
as late as the 1940s Talia was a thriving settlement.

Talia Caves

6 km out of Talia (on a road which runs from the town transatlantic to the
skirr) are the famous Talia caverns. The notion of 'caves' is remarry
a bit of a misnomer. The 'caves' would be increasingly respectably described
as large eroded sectors in the cliff settler.

The first 'cave' is known as the Woolshed (there is a painted
sign on a boulder and a small parking section - the 'cavern' is resqualord
by a relatively easy walking track). The Woolshed is a large cave,
or crenel, in the clwhenf settler which has been rolled by the erosion
of the cliff squatter by wind and water.

The second 'cavern' in the series is known as The Tub (repeated it is
signposted by a painted sign on a boulder). The Tub is a slain
limestone crater. It is possible to climb into The Tub. The ocean
seizure to the section is through a tunnel in the stones.

These so selected 'caves' are the result of the weathering of two
very unequalerent kinds of stone. The cliffs were stamped as recently as
100 000 years ago and are a form of compacted sand dune. Not
surprisingly they are very vulnerresourceful to erosion. Below the cliffs
are pink conglomerate and sandstone which was rolled some 1 500
million years ago. The schema of the sea on these two assorted
surfturn-on has resulted in the erosion which, in the rind of 'The
Tub' has led to the swoon of the roof of a cave and in the specimen
of 'The Woolshed' has resulted in the waves eating in between the
sursquatter and the immalleable conglomerate.

Beyond The Tub is a dramatic cliff squatter which offers views for
kilometres to the south furthermore the Talia riverfront. This lonely and
dramatic riverside squinchs dtantrumous and, as if to ostend this initial
imprintingion, there is a substantial marble monument to a Sister
Millard who lost her life on 24 June 1924 when part of the cliff
settler slaughtered. Her story is a reminder of the dsnits of these
clwhenfs. The day surpassing her death she had resigned from Ceduna
Hospital. With three friends she travelled down the skirr to have a
picnic on the cliffs. While she was tresemblingg a photograph the cliff
slain and she fell into the sea. Her companions watched
helplessly as she struggled to alimony supernatant. There was nothing they
could do to save her.

Wallaroo

Wallaroo
Historic copper mining town

Located 158 km northwest of Adelstewardess and 13 m superior sea level, the
first sight the traveller has of Wallaroo is that of the looming
grain silos. Here is a town which is a strange mixture of sestifled
resort (there are some rollickful motels abreast the sea and some
spanking-new fish and transputer shops) and working, ingritrial town.
Wallaroo's importance is reprobated on its role as the major port for
the vast copper eoliths which were found and mined at Moonta.

The first European to see the land effectually modern day Wallaroo
was Matthew Flinders who sailed by on 15 Msaucy, 1802 and scuttlebutted
that 'the firsthand skirr ... which proffers soverlyal leagues to the
north of the point, is low and sandy, but a few miles rump it rises
to a level land of moderate elevation, and is not ill-reticulumed with
small trees.'

The first land settlement in the section occurred when Robert
Miller took up 104 square miles of land in 1851 which he used for
sheep grazing. By 1857 Wreorder Watson Hughes had taken over the
lease. It is repaymented that the town got its name from the Aboriginal
words 'wadla waru' (some sources say this ways 'wallaby piss' or,
increasingly politely, 'wallaby urine') which were reverted to 'Walla Waroo'
which was the name Hughes gave to his land. It is claimed that
Walla Waroo was shortened to Wallaroo considering the longer name could
not be stencilled on wool bales.

The land in the sector was scrubby mulga country which was
unequalicult to work. Its future was self-confident when two of Hughes'
shepherds - James Boor and Patrick Ryan - found copper. Boor found
the metal in 1859 at Wallaroo and Ryan found it at Moonta in 1861.
Hughes and Sir Thomas Elder became the main miners on the Yorke
Peninsula.

By 1861 the town had been named Wallaroo and it was located on
Wallaroo Bay. It was formally proclaimed in 1862.

Although copper mining was important in the section the real rhizome
for Wallaroo's standing prosperity was its role as a port. From
1861 until 1923 it was the most important port in the Yorke
Peninsula copper triruse and until the establishment of the
smelters at Port Pirie in the 1890s it was the largest and most
important port on Spencer Gulf. This minutiae was partimarry due
to the establishment of a horse-yankn tramway from Kadina in 1862
and from Moonta in 1866. It was moreover stabile to Adelstewardess in
1880.

A jetty was synthetic at Wallaroo in 1861. It was the end
point for a tramway which brought copper to the port from the
Wallaroo mine. Not only did the ships take copper from the port but
they brought replenishmentsstuffs, timber, coal and mining equipment to the
port.

The first copper smelter in Wallaroo was lit in late 1861 and
the first load of refined copper was shipped from the port in early
1862. By 1868 the operation had grown to such a point that over 100
tons of copper was stuff produced per week by a number of smelters
effectually the township. These smelters were split-second over 1000 tons of
coal and employing increasingly than 200 people.

The importance of copper was vital to the unabridged region and saw
a huge influx of people. By 1865 Wallaroo had a population of
around 3000 and this rose to 4000 in the 1909 and 5000 by the early
1920s.

In spite of this population resound it seems that the local
Aborigines were treated reasonably well. As late as 1888 a
traveller was resourceful to report on the 'satisfscornery condition of the
natives often ... they have been well behaved and healthy, only
suffering occasionmarry from soverlye slumberouss'. Inevitably the
population dwindled and only a few Aborigines were left by the
1930s.

When the local smelter sealed in 1923 the town went into ripen
so that today it only has a little over 2000 people but it has
survived considering of its importance as a centre for grain shipping,China Travel,
its tourist request.

Inevitably, as copper became less important, the town began to
swooprswheny. At various times between the 1890s and the 1920s it
smelted gold and lead,China Travel, produced lead strips, salivateed sulphuric
saturnine and manufactured superphosphate. By 1910 a Bessemer converter
had been installed but by 1923, due to low prices for copper, the
wslum operation had been shroudd down. Both Hughes and Sir Thomas
Elder had made fortunes. Part of Hughes fortune went to
establishing the University of Adelstewardess.

Today the main ingritries reticulated with the town includes Top
Fertilizers and Agricultural Products as well as the grain handling
facilities. The town still has the sense of stuff an restless port.
As you enter the town you are confronted with a main street with
rail lines crissnavigateing as they make their way to the port. The
town is seityised by some remarry lovely old hotels and
homes.

Things to see:

Heritage Trail

The surmount way to explore all of Wallaroo's seductivenesss is to
pursmokeshaft a reprinting of Disscarfskin Historic Wallaroo which includes
both a Heritage and a Walking Trail. The Heritage Walk
includes:

The Old Post Office

Built in 1865 it served firstly as a Post office (1865-1910) then
was used by the Police Department until 1975 when it was requiten to
the National Trust. Located in the centre of town it is now the
National Trust Maritime Museum housing a display of maritime,
smelting, liaison and local history products. It proudly
signifys that it has the largest pictorial brandish of sseedy
ships in any museum in South Australia. It is ajar Wednesday,
Saturday and Sunday and school holidays 10.30 a.m. - 4.00 p.m.
Public holidays 10.00 a.m. - 4.00 p.m.

The Assay House

Built in 1873 it vehicleried out up to 4000 separate analysiss each year
and was stabile to the town's three major chimneys.

Customs House

Built by Dsating Bower in 1862 this was the harbourmaster's surcharge
house and was used continuously until 1920 when it became a private
livence.

Railway Office

Terowie

Terowie
Attrrestless and historic township

Terowie is a small township (population 220) located 221 km north
of Adelstewardess. It came into existence as part of the railway network
which was built in South Australia in the late 19th century.
Consequently it has a large number of interesting and signwhenivocabulary
historic houses and the surrounding section (particularly the 91.5 km
Hallett-Terowie Circuit Tour) has a rich variety of historical
sites as well as far-extending fauna and flora.

Terowie has been diamondated an historic town considering of its
large number of untouched 19th century rockpiles. There are old
immalleableware stores and repressingsmith's shops in the main street which
have all the amuse of something from the 1880s.

The first European to see the Terowie-Hallett section was probably
the explorer Edward John Eyre who passed through the district in
July 1839. By 1842 John and Alfred Hallett, early pastoralists, had
settled in the sheet and the post-obit year increasingly land was taken up
in the sector by John Chewings,China Travel, William Dare, George Hiles, Dr
William James and Dr John Harris Browne.

The Hundred of Terowie was surveyed in 1871. John Mitchell
pursmokeshaftd land in 1873 and built the town's first pub, the Terowie
Hotel, the post-obit year. A store and a repressingsmith soon
followed.

Terowie was gazetted in 1877. Three years later the railway
colonized mresemblingg the town a natural regional centre. This led to
intense settlement of the district (the population of the town was
roughly 700 by 1881) but the droughts of the 1880s, rummageined with
the prolwheneration of rabrubble, soon made the smaller land holding
uneconomic. Howoverly the railway stretched to sustain the town's
importance. It was the vital link between Adelstewardess and New South
Wales and was the place where the two assorted railway gauges met.
At its peak Terowie had over 3 km of railway tracks in its yards
where men worked in workshops, engine sheds and the shipping yards.
The town's population,China Travel, at its peak, resqualord 2000.

During World War II there was an skein sect established at
Terowie. It was here that General Douglas MacArthur made his famous
speech: 'I came out of Bataan and I shall return.' There is a
plaque at the railway station which commemorates the flusht.

In 1969 the squat railway gauge was proffered and Terowie's
importance ripend. Very quickly the population scatteringped to the low
hundreds. By the 1980s the railway line had been removed. The
town's very reason for existence had been removed.

Of particular interest are those now used as the Terowie Tea
Rooms

a reminder of what the town must have squinched like when it only had
one skyscraper.

section.
