  • NOTES on the ORIGINS of TRAIL RUNNING SA. Part 1. The
    NOTES ON THE ORIGINS OF TRAIL RUNNING SA. Part 1. The Yurrebilla Trail. David Close " I know, the Yurrebilla Trail" said Terry Cleary with a visionary gleam in his eyes. The occasion was John Glowik's 60th birthday party in Sally Buckett's home, in mid-2007.This was the conception of The Yurrebilla Trail 56 km Ultra (YUM), and, as it turned out, the start of a revival of trail running in SA. A few minutes later, further discussion was cut short when the candles on John's birthday cake triggered the smoke alarm. Perhaps this was an omen of some sort. After this evening, Terry spent much time exploring the Yurrebilla Trail, which then was poorly marked, and making arrangements for refreshments. He told me that he was influenced by one of the most famous trail running events in Australia, the 6 Foot Track in New South Wales. On 25 November, he led 22 other runners for a long and memorable run along the whole 56 kms of the trail. Having promised his wife Gay - who organised the catering with great success - that this run was a once-off affair, he left Adelaide immediately afterwards to work in Alice Springs. Terry Cleary, with myself, Doug Smart and Ken Graham in 2012. I was at the time bird watching in Peru, but resolved after his return in December that this adventure could not be allowed to die. Up to this point, organised trail running in SA had a long history - from at least as early as the 1980s. In the 1993, Peter Allmand, formed the Off Road Division of the SA Road Runners Club (SARRC).

  • 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.
