CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS

1839 Edward John Eyre sighted and named Lake Torrens from Mount Eyre.

1842 The explorer, C. Dutton, disappeared while attempting to follow Eyre's tracks around the head of Spencer Gult.

1846 The explorer, J.F. Hqrrocks, was killed by the accidental discharge of a gun while endeavouring to reach the interior of the continent by a route to the west of Lake Torrens. Horrocks penetrated country to the we-st of Beda Hill and reached Lake Dutton.

1858 B.H. Babbage led a Government sponsored party to explore country at the head of Spencer Gulf and to the north-west between Lake Gardiner and Lake Torrens.

1858 John McDouall Stuart and William Finke penetrated 240m north-west of Babbages Camp and trav.elled up through Andamooka to the Stuart Range. Andamooka was named by Stuart after an Aboriginal designation meaning "large waterhole".

1859 Assistant Surveyor-General, W.G. Goyder, explored the Lake Torrens district and described it as "a stockholders paradise in winter".

1862 Stuart travelled through the Lake Torrens district on his expedition across the continent to the Gulf of Carpentaria. At about this time Charles Swindon, accompanied by an Aboriginal, brought back specimens of gold allegedly discovered near Andamooka.

1868 James Bowman and Phillip Hiern took out a lease on behalf of H.J. Richman for 200 square miles of land on Pernatty Creek. {"Pernatty Station" was stocked with sheep in 1871).

1869 A pastoral lease was taken out for Yeltacowie Station.

1872 A pastoral lease was taken out for Andamooka Station.

1874 Monalena Station lease taken up.

1874 Chances Swamp (later Roxby Downs Station) lease taken up.

Arcoona Station lease taken up.
