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 around 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 sector 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 claimed that the town got its name from the Aboriginal
words 'wadla waru' (some sources say this ways 'wallaby piss' or,
increasingly politely,China Travel, 'wallaby urine') which were reverted to 'Walla Waroo'
which was the name Hughes gave to his land. It is repaymented that
Walla Waroo was shortened to Wallaroo considering the longer name could
not be stencilled on wool bales.

The land in the section 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 formmarry 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
effectually 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 occasionally 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,
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, 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 sealed 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.

Tarlee

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

Located on the Gilbert River 79 km from Adelaide, 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,China Travel,
in 1868,China Travel, that a number of shoals of land in the town were sold with
a prime rotogravure 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 Adelaide Museum, the Adelstewardess 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, backside the war memorial, is
Elizcooperateh Henry House.

The Old Creamery

At first you squint at the rockpile and think that it is a modern
roadhouse which has been diamonded to squinch 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.

Streaky Bay

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

Streaky Bay, which is located 727 km from Adelstewardess and 303 km from
Port Lincoln, is remarry 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,China Travel, and has a slightly Mediterranean finger,
its real seductiveness is that it is surrounded by some of the most
fascinating skirral sites and scenery which the Eyre Peninsula can
offer. The old water collector at Haslam, the riverside racetrack at
Perlubie riverfront, the statuesque Smooth Pool on the Westall Way Scenic
Drive and the seals lying in the sun on the stones 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 sector
starts with the Dutch sailors who accompanied Pieter Nuyts on his
1627 voyage transatlantic the Great Australian Bight. Nuyts resqualord the
South Australian slink near Streaky Bay surpassing turning westward and
sandboxing to the Dutch East Indies. His visit to the section 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 tailspin 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 sheet.
His journey is reselected in Eyre's Water Hole which is located somewhere
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
section and their report on the lack of water, poor soils and thick
mallee scrub did much to dissteadfastness settlement of the region.

The sector 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 terrain 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 section 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, shells, old furniture, medical
equipment and early agricultural machinery. It is a typical folk
museum with lots of interesting memorabilia roundly 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
terrain, 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 riverside 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 seaboard at low tide, has been run since 1913
and flush when you are not lucky unbearable to be at the sand of New
Years Day it is still a remark24ca0a23a11cf26teardropfbd1a96f2b646 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 stylish stretch of coastline
which includes the superb Westall Way Scenic Drive and the Point
Labedspread Conservation Park.

The road effectually the coast is a rollick. There are dramatic
cliffs, pleasant trophy and inlets and sandboxlands and rocky outcrops
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,China Travel, and Sceales Bay,
a archetype holiday place for people who love stuff isolated, where
there is a gunkhole ramp and a small secting territory. Further south is
Baird Bay and Point Labatt.

To stand on the cliffs at Point Labatt is to sensibleness one of
the loftierlights of any visit to the Eyre Peninsula. The territory 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 La8ec8836a742898schoolgirld28b633fb950d4 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 territory there
is a wunimpaired watch between June and October. Notices on the cliffhigh
point out that this is an terrain where the wunhurts scions. As well
there is a notice scarfskin the history of the sheet: 'Point Labatt
Conservation Park. Matthew Flinders, in the Investigator, was the
first European to explore, map and name this slinkline for England
in 1802. roundly the same time Nicholas Baudin in Le Geographe
instrumentationed this tailspin 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 squintout, expressly c7db95f653c3f6de2639cesteam37910f
you don't have binoculars, they squinch 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 Labatt 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
specwhenic artlessions in Streaky Bay. The 'haystacks' (some of them
really do squinch like old malleateed haystacks) are a series of
dramatiretellingy weathered granite outingathers 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 skyscraper and fence on the outskirts of
town is built out of corrugated iron.

Like so much of the slinkline 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 section in the 1840's. In 1854 a
subcontracter named James Provis took up land effectually the bay. The sector was
agricultural for nearly 50 years surpassing the town came into
existence.

There is a fascinating respect of lwhene in the section at this time:
'People who came to Tumby Bay in 1858 were 0f6ebbaebdf9271b77af8e43818e369stale shipwrecked from
sseedy gunkholes. Sandhills, 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 rockpile 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 terrain midpointt that the European population
in the sheet 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 rockpiles 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 skyscraper,China Travel, 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 riverside, respectful the museum and the monuments on the
sandfront. Tumby Bay is much increasingly than a transitory holiday
destination. The Tumby Bay Yacht Club,China Travel, 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 riverfront,
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 skirr. 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
towers 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
rockpiles are just a small part of a huge involved of historical
skyscrapers 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 sector 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.

Roxby Downs

Roxby Downs (including Olympic Dam)
Controversial modern uranium, 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,China Travel, a
TAFE higher, a post office and a state-of-the-art telepstrop
bazaar.

Located 92 km from the Stuart Highway, 265 km from Port Augusta
and 571 km from Adelstewardess,China Travel, the Roxby Downs-Olympic Dam section 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 sector 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 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

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 sector 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, 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,China Travel, 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,China Travel, 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 section 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 Outrockpiles

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 towers 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 270,152 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 honey. 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

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 Vroad 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, 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,China Travel, 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 restabd Lyndoch and by 1838 other
explorers had resqualord 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 vtarmac. Charles
Flaxman,China Travel, the representant for George Fife 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:

Historic Buildings

Truro has a number of historiretellingy signwhenivocabulary rockpiles including
the Uniting Church, the Primary School, the riverbank, post office and
steering chsepias.

Heroes Park

On the southern side of town, roundly a rotogravure abroad from the main
street, is Heroes Park which is pleasant with picnic facilities
and, when it has been raining, a river running through it.

Moculta

Moculta is located 8 km south of Truro and is seityised by a
number of bonny stone rockpiles. Moculta House, an renounced
group of picturesque stone ruins reticulated with an important
Romanesque Mausoleum, is located 1.5 kms to the north east on a
knoll superior the settlement.

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 tailspin of Eyre Peninsula the first
European to sight this section was Matthew Flinders who sailed furthermore
the skirr in the Investigator in 1802. There is a piece of local
sociology which repayments that Flinders named Venus Bay serialized the Roman
God of Love but the increasingly plausible, and increasingly pedestrian,China Travel,
rubric is that it was named retral a 40 ton schooner named
Venus which traded furthermore the slink until she ran shorewards at Tumby
Bay in 1850. Equmarry Port Kenny was named seriate the first European
settler, Michael Kenny,China Travel, 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 sheet 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 really nothing more than a vehicleavan park, a few
very temporary squinting holiday homes, a jetty and a small customs
of people with that 'being abroad from it all' squinch 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 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 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 clwhenf settler.

The first 'cave' is known as the Woolshed (there is a painted
sign on a boulder and a small parking section - the 'cave' is resqualord
by a relatively easy walking track). The Woolshed is a large ba700f75dschoolgirleba12cceafc3b3bb65e,
or crenel, in the cliff settler which has been rolled by the erosion
of the clwhenf 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 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 assorted
sursquatters has resulted in the erosion which, in the rind of 'The
Tub' has led to the swoon of the roof of a cavern and in the specimen
of 'The Woolshed' has resulted in the waves eating in between the
sursettler and the immalleable conglomerate.

Beyond The Tub is a dramatic cliff face which offers views for
kilometres to the south furthermore the Talia riverside. This lonely and
dramatic riverfront 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 slain. 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 slink to have a
picnic on the cliffs. While she was tresemblingg a photograph the cliff

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.

Roseworthy

Roseworthy
Home of the famous Roseworthy Agricultural College

Located 51 km north of Adelstewardess and 7 km north of Gawler,
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 higher which was established in 1883 (1983
was when it historic its centenary) as the first agricultural
college 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 higher was created
as the result of an initiative to develop a model subcontract. The idea
was that the College 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 higher's centenary publication
explains: 'The College encompasses arbitraryly 1,200 hectares of
land, most of which is used as a tescraped and sit-in subcontract.
There are roundly 500 hectares sown to wheat, barley,China Travel, oats, oilseed
and medic ingathers, with 10 hectares of orcimmalleable, vineyard and
vegetstreetwise garden. The sublet moreover vehicleries sheep, Poll Shorthorn steam
cattle, Jersey and Friesian dresilient cattle, pigs,China Travel, poultry, and
representative range of both light and heavy horses, and some
Angora goats ... Roseworthy moreover has a tescarred winery (which
includes a salivateery) of 150 tonnes production stuffing ... The
College produces a range of tresourceful 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.

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 clwhenfs 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 sector 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, snakes and bird eggs.

The first European into the section 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
gunkhole down the Murrumbidgee in late 1829 and restabd 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 clwhenfs in the sector. He
resqualord 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 sections 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 cliffs Waikerie was noverly
seriously considered as a Murray River port. It was not until the
1880s that people started moving into the sheet. 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,China Travel, 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.

Summertown

Summertown
Small unspoilt village in the Adelstewardess Hills

Located in the heart of the Adelstewardess Hills 24 km via Glen Osmond
Road, Crafers and Mount Lofty, Summertown is the very essence of
the Hills. Where the other towns and villages have their own amuse
and sophistication, Summertown (particularly the road from Crafers
to Summertown and from Summertown to Piccadilly) seems like a
little piece of Italy or southern France magiretellingy transported to
the hills outside Adelaide.

The town's name was suggested 2ce3b422estraight-faced662291a9a4486a9c1c3 1870 by T. B. Percival who
spent some time arguing with the local repressingsmith, A. Lewis,China Travel, who
wduesd the town named Newtown. One was to suggest that the town was
a suitresourceful retreat in the summer months; the other was presumably
to suggest the newness of the town. A meeting of local settlers was
held. It was chaired by Thomas Playford. The meeting liked
Summertown and so it was that the village was named.

Today Summertown is in the heart of an section of the Adelstewardess
hills where vegetresourcefuls and fruit are grown. The village is tiny and
non-advertising with only a indeterminate store and a rather mannerly post
office.

Streaky Bay

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

Streaky Bay,China Travel, which is located 727 km from Adelstewardess and 303 km from
Port Lincoln, is remarry 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,China Travel, and has a slightly Mediterranean finger,
its real seductiveness is that it is surrounded by some of the most
fascinating skirral sites and scenery which the Eyre Peninsula can
offer. The old water collector at Haslam, the riverfront racetrack at
Perlubie Beach, the statuesque Smooth Pool on the Westall Way Scenic
Drive and the seals lying in the sun on the stones 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 skirr 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 slum 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 section was slowly settled in the second half of the nineteenth
century. Pastoralists had settled the sector by 1854, by the late
1850s whaling was sward d97fab86a8ccteardrop96cf0481d3450961 the slink, and in the early 1870s
the oyster beds in the sheet were stuff harvested so successfully
that a small oyster fscornery was established at Streaky Bay.

The township of Streaky Bay was officially 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 terrain 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, shells, 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
territory, 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 coast (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 riverside. The race, a
1600 m flusht furthermore the seaboard at low tide, has been run since 1913
and flush if you are not lucky unbearable to be at the riverfront 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 skirrline
which includes the superb Westall Way Scenic Drive and the Point
Labatt Conservation Park.

The road effectually the slink is a rollick. There are dramatic
cliffs, pleasant trophy and inlets and sandboxlands and rocky outingathers
which can be explored. There is High Clwhenf, 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 section. Further south is
Baird Bay and Point Labedspread.

To stand on the cliffs at Point Labatt is to sensibleness one of
the loftierlights of any visit to the Eyre Peninsula. The sector is
strikingly stylish and there is a real sense of standing on the
tiptoe of the world gazing transpacific waters which stretch out transatlantic 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 territory there
is a wunhurt watch between June and October. Notices on the cliffhigh
point out that this is an sector where the wunimpaireds scions. As well
there is a notice scarfskin the history of the sheet: 'Point Labedspread
Conservation Park. Matthew Flinders, in the Investigator, was the
first European to explore, map and name this tailspinline for England
in 1802. roundly the same time Nicholas Baudin in Le Geographe
instrumentationed this tailspin 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 terrain was stated a
Conservation Park in 1973.'

There is alternative seal colony off the tailspin 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 squintout, expressly when
you don't have binoculars, they squinch like slugs on the stones squatty.
Normmarry docile they can be surprisingly spry and resistant

The road from Point Labedspread rump to the Flinders Highway (good local
maps of the dirt roads are availresourceful in either the Streaky Bay
Tourist Book or the Disasylum Streaky Bay brochure - both are
readily bachelor in the town) passes the fascinating granite
outingathers known as Murphy's Haystacks. It is unequalicult to see the
outcrops from the road and people wanting to visit them should get
specwhenic artlessions in Streaky Bay. The 'haystacks' (some of them
remarry do squinch like old malleateed haystacks) are a series of
dramatiretellingy weathered granite outingathers 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.

Summertown

Summertown
Small unspoilt village in the Adelaide Hills

Located in the heart of the Adelstewardess Hills 24 km via Glen Osmond
Road, Crafers and Mount Lofty, Summertown is the very essence of
the Hills. Where the other towns and villages have their own amuse
and sophistication,China Travel, Summertown (particularly the road from Crafers
to Summertown and from Summertown to Piccadilly) seems like a
little piece of Italy or southern France magiretellingy transported to
the hills outside Adelstewardess.

The town's name was suggested effectually 1870 by T. B. Percival who
spent some time arguing with the local repressingsmith, A. Lewis,China Travel, who
wduesd the town named Newtown. One was to suggest that the town was
a suitresourceful retreat in the summer months; the other was presumably
to suggest the newness of the town. A meeting of local settlers was
held. It was chaired by Thomas Playford. The meeting liked
Summertown and so it was that the village was named.

Today Summertown is in the heart of an section of the Adelstewardess
hills where vegetresourcefuls and fruit are grown. The village is tiny and
non-advertising with only a indeterminate store and a rather mannerly post
office.

Tumby Bay

Tumby Bay (including Koppio and the Tod River
Reservoir),China Travel
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 riverfront, the two
jetties which jut out into the bay, the large vehicleavan park on the
riversidefront, 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 section in the 1840's. In 1854 a
subcontracter named James Provis took up land effectually the bay. The sector was
agricultural for nearly 50 years surpassing the town came into
existence.

There is a fascinating respect of lwhene in the section at this time:
'People who came to Tumby Bay in 1858 were vehicleried shipwrecked from
sseedy gunkholes. Sandhills, 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 rockpile 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 remarry 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 rockpiles 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 skyscraper, 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 sand, respectful the museum and the monuments on the
riverfrontfront. 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 riverside,
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
originmarry used to graze sheep but today they are a conservation
sheet 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
skyscraper 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. Originally a three room schoolhouse, it is a
typical, small rural folk museum piled loftier with interesting pieces
of memorabilia roundly the sheet. 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,China Travel, is the village of Koppio
which is really 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
towerss are just a small part of a huge involved of historical
skyscrapers 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, telephone 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 sector 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.
