Pastoralists, church going farmers and miners developed most of the Mid North. Many were unique characters, hardworking, devout Christians and an important part of our European heritage.
Not all were British.
The Cornish and Welsh miners of Kapunda's copper mine were mainly Methodists as were the farmers of Woolshed Flat.
The forgotten Moravian Brethren (originally Czech) from Saxony at Bethel and Schorndorf near Tarlee had unique beliefs with communistic religious communities controlled by strict elders.
The pastoral era of the Auburn to Mintaro districts was dominated by the British Bowman family.
They built several grand mansions in SA from Poltalloch and Campbell Park to the impressive Martindale Hall at Mintaro.
We will enjoy an included Devonshire tea and tour of the mansion that was used for the film Picnic at Hanging Rock.
Extensive history notes will be provided.
This bus tour will depart from the WEA centre at 9:00am sharp and return around 6:00pm.
