South Australian Rail Trails
South Australian Rail Trails The experience, lessons + opportunities… Report by Sarah Hirst and Susie Bower September 2014 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report provides an overview of the construction and management of the Riesling and Rattler Trails in the Clare Valley in South Australia. Key Findings The name North East Rail Trail needs a rethink. The key comment was that it could be the North East anywhere in the world. The name needs to be easily identifiable as Tasmanian. The Clare and Gilbert Valley Council have designs signed off by an engineer to put concrete structures over the existing wooden bridges. This method saved time and money by not having to remove the existing bridge. The Clare and Gilbert Valley Council have access to the design of a structure that was towed behind a truck that made the crown of the trail. This allowed for the trail to be constructed quite quickly with excellent drainage to reduce ongoing maintenance costs. It might be possible to lay geo tech fabric to stop the ballast from rising to the surface, thus cutting down considerably on the cost of construction. Where possible bridges should only be pedestrian width which cuts down the cost of construction considerably. Drainage is a key component to identify and address before constructing the trail. Road crossings have very basic signage, just a give way sign. Very few road crossings, we only saw one that had chicanes. Quite a few properties had driveways intersecting the rail trail to access their home. The Friends of the Riesling Trail do not have a shortage of volunteers, often they have too many people wanting to volunteer and not enough for them to do. -

The Public Will Thank You for Your Timely Article on the Absurdity of So Many of the Names with Which Our Localities in South Australia Are Humiliated
B The public will thank you for your timely article on the absurdity of so many of the names with which our localities in South Australia are humiliated. The places so handicapped are, like the unfortunate infants christened after certain celebrities, voiceless in the matter… (Register, 25 July 1900, page 7d) Baan Hill - On section 50, Hundred of Allenby; an adjacent spring gives a good supply of water all year round; derived from the Aboriginal panau - ‘ochre’. The name was given to a pastoral run by H.S. Williams and J.T. Bagot and, on 24 June 1976, proclaimed as a recreation reserve. Babbage, Mount - B.H. Babbage discovered the mountain in 1856 and named it ‘Mount Hopeful’; in the following year it was renamed by G.W. Goyder. Babbage Peninsula, situated on Lake Eyre North was, virtually, discovered by Babbage, as opposed to Lake Eyre South which was discovered by E.J. Eyre and not named until 1963. Born in London, circa 1814, he came to South Australia in the Hydaspes in 1851. A qualified engineer he was involved in the construction of the Port Adelaide railway, entered Parliament in 1857 and resigned nine months later to command a northern exploration party. By the end of six months his explorations had scarcely penetrated beyond the limits of pastoral settlement and, consequently, both the public and the government, increasingly, became impatient at his slow rate of progress. Eventually, Major P. E. Warburton was dispatched to take over the leadership and, later, it was said that, ‘Babbage’s expedition of 1858-59 was one of the most fruitful in its detailed collection of geographical information and the minuteness of its survey work.’ The Advertiser of 24 December 1858 has a satirical poem - one verse reads: Each caviller at Babbage then A fairy land, no doubt, he’d see, We’d northward send exploring Where others saw but gravel, To find new land, or water when And geographic problems he He chose artesian boring! Most surely would unravel. -

Clare Perfect Ride Report 26Th July 2020 on a Bright
Clare Perfect Ride report 26th July 2020 On a bright and beautiful morning in Clare, four intrepid souls joined me, the leader, for a 65km ride northwards to the locality of Andrews and back. We started along the Farrell Flat Road and I mentioned to the gang that I had read that we had a “Fairly Flat Road” ahead. Sadly no-one took the bait. Our first point of interest was the Gaelic Cemetery which has many early Scottish pioneer graves within its gates. Onwards to Barinia and the vines petered out along with the large gum trees. Continuing on Calcannia Road the country became drier and more open with long views along the White Hut Creek. Cemetery plaque This creek joins the Hutt River and we rode along the Hutt River Road, the Hutt Hill Road and the Hilltop Road while skirting the locality of Hilltown. Very imaginative local names! View across the valley Arriving at Andrews we toured the entire town for a few minutes looking for a rest stop. Eventually we decided that the long disused Tennis Club had the best seating, a low crumbling concrete curb. When we Tennis anyone? stopped talking the utter silence rolled in with just the barest whisper of bird song. Soon though the suspense grew too great and a couple of locals took to their utes and trundled slowly by to check us out. After lunch we headed south on the Hilltown Road until we came to a diversion along a much less used track, crossing the Hill River. A mob of sheep was surprised to see us on their track and raced off, but a determined push saw them stop and stare at the crazies up from the Big Smoke. -
