  • Eyre Peninsula Local Government Association
    Tas Luttrell Principal Research Officer Standing Committee on Transport & Regional Services Parliament House CANBERRA ACT 2600 Dear Sir, Subject: Integration of Regional Rail & Road Freight Transport and their Interface with Ports Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the above Inquiry. As you may be aware, this issue is already high on this region’s economic development and local government agendas, as key stakeholders in the Eyre Peninsula Grain Transport Integration and Investment Strategy currently before the Commonwealth Department of Transport and Regional Services. Eyre Peninsula Snapshot: Eyre Peninsula is an enigma. It is an opportunity-rich region of considerable diversity. On a per capita basis, Eyre Peninsula is a highly productive region, generating in an average year: One third of South Australia’s grain harvest. Two thirds of the State’s catch of seafood. Higher levels of visitation than any other country tourist region in South Australia. Home to one in every six of South Australia’s sheep. Sitting on a bounty supply of mineral resources, ranging from gypsum to gold. One of the worlds top ten locations for the generation of wind power. One of Australia’s most aggressive/successful exporters, particularly grain and seafood. Yet as a direct result of its vast size (45,000km2), remote location (local road network of 13,798km) and sparse population (55,390 people), Eyre Peninsula is infrastructure challenged. It is infrastructure, both hard and soft, that is the glue that binds both the economic and community fabric of this vast peninsula region together. Everything from water resources to regional transport.

  • A Person Arriving in This Colony, and Wishing to Join His Friends at The
    R A person arriving in this colony, and wishing to join his friends at the Meadows, consults his railway guide, and finds that he has to take train for Quorn, etc; but after travelling some 200 miles north discovers that he has to retrace his journey to the city, and start again to the older village, something like 20 miles south of Adelaide. Many similar examples may be given… (Advertiser, 4 April 1888) Rabbit Island - (See Owen Island, Pennington Bay & Koromaranggul) Rabelais, Cape - In the South-East, appears first on Freycinet’s charts and, probably, was named after Francois Rabelais (circa 1494-1553), the celebrated French satirist and humorist who, in younger days, was a Benedictine monk but departed from his clerical labours, after a monastical quarrel, to become a physician. Rabila - A railway station 5 km South-East of Murray Bridge. Aboriginal for ‘good hunting ground’. Radium - Radium Creek - (See Echo Camp) Radium Hill is 40 km South-West of Cockburn, where uranium was discovered in 1906; the mine closed in 1961, The Radium Hill School opened in 1953 and closed in 1962. Radstock, Cape - On Eyre Peninsula, named by Matthew Flinders on 9 February 1802 after Lord Radstock (1753-1825), an English Admiral.
