At the coordinates you will come across a monument to Mrs William
Napper who was the First White Woman to live in the Barmera
District. She was the wife of William Napper who in 1863 built an
accommodation hotel and storeroom, the house was an important
stopping place on the overland stock route. He also established a
orchard of vines and fruits in which he used a steam engine to pump
water, thus became the first irrigator in the Upper Murray
Region.
If you visit the cache Go'n'do
- Napper's Ruins you will see what remains of the what at the
time was called the “Lake Bonney Hotel” which is the hotel that
William Napper had.
