  • Beaumont House
    Promoting the enjoyment, knowledge and benefits of gardens and gardening Open Gardens South Australia Welcomes you to Beaumont House Sunday 28th March, 2021 History Beaumont House was originally built for the first Anglican Bishop of Adelaide, Augustus Short, and his family who lived there from 1851 until they moved to Bishop’s Court in 1857. He named it Claremont and chose the location because of the views and cooler climate. His early plan shows garden to the west, north and east of the house. He is recorded as planting fruit trees and olives (supplied by Davenport), and early sketches show shrubs and succulents under native trees bordering a driveway. In 1857, Sir Samuel [as he became] and Lady Davenport moved into the house, renamed ‘Beaumont House’. A keen horticulturalist, he was a friend of George Francis and Richard Schomburgk, the first two directors of the Botanic Gardens of Adelaide, and also of Ferdinand von Mueller, who later became Director of the Melbourne Botanic Gardens. He served on the Board of the Botanic Gardens from 1864-78. The Davenports were farmers and their property extended from high in the hills down to Beaumont Common. Trees planted by them exist in the garden today, including Aleppo, stone and pencil pines, almonds, figs and pears, and palms (cotton, Canary date and European fan), the Wigandia and olives. No records remain of what flowers they planted, but in their earlier garden at Macclesfield, honeysuckle, roses, broom, violets, mignonette, foxgloves, catchfly and geraniums grew. Davenport was an ardent promoter of agriculture and new industries in South Australia.

  • Historic Self-Guided Walk Beaumont
    Historic Self-Guided Walk Beaumont BEAUMONT The district was named Beaumont in 1846 by Samuel Davenport (1818 - 1906) (knighted in 1884). He subdivided some of his land (Section 296) in 1849 in the style of an English village and laid it out around a ‘common’ which still exists as public land. ‘Beaumont’ means ‘beautiful mount’ in French. The Davenport home was renamed Beaumont House in about 1857 when Samuel and his wife first occupied it. The wider district was originally rural in character, with a scatter of named properties such as Gleeson’s Farm on which the family home of ‘Gleeville’ (see Item 5) was established by Edward B Gleeson, from whom Davenport purchased it. Gleeson’s Farm was later owned by J F Cleland. Other nearby properties were Belle Vue and Sunnyside, both established in about 1848. Davenport’s land was bounded by the following modern suburban roads: Glynburn Road, Dashwood Road, Devereux Road, and Cooper Place. The modern suburb known as Beaumont covers more than double that area, including hilly lands to the east and south of the original holding. ‘Glynburn’ is a composite name applied first in 1964 to provide a single name for the whole length of the road whcih formerly had three names: Beaumont Road, Burnside Road, and Glynde Road. ‘Dashwood Road’ was named after Captain G F Dashwood RN (1806 - 1881) Commissioner of Police, who leased ‘Gleeville’ in 1852. Davenport was one of South Australia’s great pioneers - a scholar and a gentleman. He held many leading public offices and duties, as well as heading various significant voluntary organisations.

  • Pioneer Women's Trail History
    The historic trail The Pioneer Women’s Trail honours the early Europeans who settled in Hahndorf, and supplied Adelaide with fresh produce at a time when most foodstuffs had to be imported into South Australia. Within weeks of their arrival in 189 the women and girls were walking the rough bush track to Adelaide, 35km away. They left the village at midnight, carrying baskets of vegetables and dairy products on their backs or on yokes across their shoulders. After walking about 26km the women reached a stream in the foothills near Beaumont, where they rested and tidied themselves before continuing into Adelaide to hawk their wares. Their load on the homeward journey might include sewing thread and needles, sugar, tea, some tobacco for the menfolk and two bricks each for building a church in Hahndorf. They continued to carry supplies to Adelaide in this way until the late 1850s. The modern trail In 1979 six members of the Hahndorf Branch of the National Trust of South Australia, followed as closely as possible the trail shown on a map produced on 18 June 1841 by surveyor FR Nixon. The following year, 1980, the first public walk along its full length took place. There were a number of walks in the 1980s and 1990s, but the trail was not properly marked and officially launched until 2007. The first walk as a South Australian History Festival event took place in 2010. Originally the women utilised Peramangk walking trails along the ridgetops, and the bullock tracks that had been established very early after white settlement.
