  • BLACKFORD RESERVE KIN S 06 Place Name and Address
    BLACKFORD RESERVE KIN S 06 Place Name and Address: Blackford Reserve Rowney Road Blackford SA 5275 SUMMARY OF HERITAGE VALUE: Description: The Blackford Reserve consists of a large area of land bisected by Rowney Road. There are two stone cottages standing on the east side of the road, and one of stone and mixed materials on the west side. Most of the reserve is covered by native scrub, in a district where most land has been cleared for farming. Statement of Heritage Value: Commencing in about the 1880s, the Blackford Reserve was continuously occupied by an Indigenous community until the 1940s, and is still used today. It is the most substantial evidence of the historical and continuing relationship between European and Aboriginal people in the South-East. In addition, while there are a number of places entered in the SA Heritage Register because of their role in the interaction between European and Aboriginal South Australians, including all or part of the settlements at Poonindie, Moorundie, Point Pearce, Raukkan (Point McLeay) and Killalpaninna, all these settlements differ from Blackford Reserve in one fundamental respect. All were created, administered and supervised on a day-to-day basis by European staff. Most were run by church missionaries, Moorundie and Point Pearce by government officers, but all were European. Blackford is fundamentally different in being a settlement run entirely by and for its Aboriginal residents. Relevant Criteria (Under Section 16 of the Heritage Act 1993): (a) It demonstrates important aspects of the evolution or pattern of the State's history (d) It is an outstanding representative of a particular class of places of cultural significance RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Blackford Reserve be provisionally entered in the South Australian Heritage Register, and that it be declared a place of archaeological significance.

  • Mount Schank State Heritage Area Mount Schank Was Declared a State Heritage Area on 11 June 1992
    Mount Schank State Heritage Area Mount Schank was declared a State Heritage Area on 11 June 1992. HISTORY The oral history of the Boandik people of south-eastern South Australia includes a story that suggests their ancestors witnessed volcanic activity in the Mount Gambier area. The Craitbul story tells of a giant ancestor, who made an oven to cook for his wife and family, at what is now Mount Muirhead. The groaning voice of a bird spirit warned them of evil spirits and so they fled to another site (Mount Schank) where they built another oven. Once more they were frightened off by the threat of the evil spirit and moved on to another place (Mount Gambier), where they again built their oven. One day water rose and the fire went out (the Blue Lake). They dug other ovens, but each time the water rose, it put out the fires. This occurred four times, so Craitbul and his family finally settled in a cave on the side of the peak. Mount Schank was named in December 1800 by Lieutenant (later Captain) James Grant, to honour Captain (later Admiral) John Schank of the Royal Navy. During his exploratory voyage along Australia's south-east coast Grant's wooden vessel, the HMS Lady Nelson, had sliding keels built to a scheme devised by Captain Schank. When Captain Matthew Flinders later sailed and mapped the same coastline, he adopted the names for any features already named by Grant. During 1844 George French Angas accompanied Governor Grey and his party on a journey to investigate the south-east coast of South Australia.

  • Heritage and Geology
    Conservation Themes – Heritage 3.3 Heritage Indigenous and non-Indigenous heritage sites have been used in the process of assessing conservation priority within the Limestone Coast and Coorong region. Aboriginal heritage sites have been buffered and so only generalised location is shown for these. 3.3.1 Non-Indigenous Heritage There are a number of non-Indigenous heritage registers currently in use in Australia: World Heritage, National Heritage, Commonwealth Heritage, Register of the National Estate (RNE), State Heritage and Local Heritage. These are discussed in more detail in Appendix 13. There are no places recorded in the World or National heritage registers within the SE coastal boundary. All non-Indigenous heritage sites with legislated heritage protection in South Australia are recorded in the South Australian Heritage Register Database (SAHRDB). This includes places of State significance as well as other categories of heritage places in South Australia including World, National, Commonwealth and local and contributory places. Other places of heritage significance, which were identified in regional heritage surveys commissioned by the Heritage Branch of DENR, are also included in this database. Cultural heritage places that are protected by legislation (World, National, Commonwealth, State, Local and Shipwrecks) are generally deemed to have significance according to specific criteria and so have values that should be protected and conserved. The majority of coastal townships in the South East were established because of their connection with the sea, providing a service centre and link between the farming (or mining) activities nearby and the ships which provided transport to other parts of the state, Australia or the world.
