History of the Barossa Valley and Its Landscapes History of the Barossa Valley and Its Landscapes David Farmer Presented at the Wine Barossa media and trade Day, June 18th, 2008 David Farmer opened a wine shop in Canberra in June 1975, the start of a long term interest in liquor retailing with a focus from that time on wine, the most profitable and interesting part of the liquor trade. Visits have been made to many of the world’s wine regions and this exposure led to a developing interest in the unique differences of each region and how these physical differences might be related to the taste of the wine‐the debate about terroir. In the late 1990’s being dissatisfied about explanations of the origin of Coonawarra, David mapped the district and the paper ‘‘The Red Soils of Coonawarra’’ was published in the Wine Industry Journal in November‐December, 2002. This was a re‐awakening of a previous interest as David worked as a geologist for 10 years before entering the liquor business. Mapping is continuing on a major reappraisal of the Limestone Coast. In 2001 David commenced mapping the Barossa Valley which he visited 2 to 3 times a year before moving permanently to the Barossa in 2005. This project is unfinished but enough has been completed to propose a major re‐think of the landscape development of the Barossa Valley. A Highlight Summary of the Barossa Landscape 8.

A depiction of a tropical Early Tertiary forest – the Barossa Valley 40 million years ago The Barossa and Sub‐Regionality In this paper I would like to present some early ideas from landscape mapping of the Barossa Valley that I have been doing over the last 6 years. This is the first time I have discussed this research. The idea of sub‐regionality in the Barossa goes back a long way but it has accelerated in the last Figure 1.

Government of South Australia Published by the Department for Environment and Heritage, Adelaide, Australia © Department for Environment and Heritage, 2006 ISBN: 1 921018 887 Front cover photograph courtesy of Bernd Stoecker FRPS and reproduced with his permission This document may be cited as “Department for Environment and Heritage (2006) Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park Management Plan, Adelaide, South Australia” FOREWORD Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park is located approximately 80 kilometres north-east of Adelaide and approximately 12 kilometres south-east of Tanunda, in the northern Mount Lofty Ranges. The 392 hectare park was proclaimed in 1979 to conserve a remnant block of native vegetation, in particular the northern-most population of Brown Stringybark (Eucalyptus baxteri). Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park preserves a substantial number of habitats for native fauna and helps to protect the soil and watershed of Tanunda Creek. More than 360 species of native plant are found within the reserve, many of which are of conservation significance. Bird species of conservation significance recorded within the reserve include the Diamond Firetail, White-browed Treecreeper, Elegant Parrot and Crescent Honeyeater. Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park also has a rich cultural heritage. The reserve is of significance to the Peramangk people and Ngadjuri people who have traditional associations with the land. Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park has also been a valuable source of material for botanical research. Dr Ferdinand von Mueller and Dr Hans Herman Behr collected Barossa Ranges plants from the area between 1844 and 1851.
