06 May 1893 - THE TOILERS OF THE HILLS
Long ago, before the Sturt Valley Road, as we know it, there was a rough track that passed over the Sturt Valley's saddle, primarily to transport produce from the region to market. The southern side of this ridge track was somewhat treacherous, identified in THE TOILERS OF THE HILLS (Supplement to the South Australian Register - May 6, 1893) as "Dray drawn by bullocks would occasionally capsize when navigating the steep ravine". Also cited, one of the district's pioneers, Mr Coat senior had a "silver-lead mine…worked on his property ... by Messrs, Kindermann & Moss, of Adelaide, and although good samples of ore were obtained it shared the fate of too many other industries of a kindred nature".
Both features are on this property.
