Historic place in Murray River history.
My 1st hide. You are looking for a snap-lock container. The first European to set foot on Hindmarsh Island was Captain Charles Sturt in 1830. Sturt used the Island as a viewing point and from there he sighted the Murray Mouth. The following year (1831) Captain Collet Barker surveyed the Murray Mouth but was killed by Indigenous Australians after swimming across the mouth. The island was named by Captain John William Dundas Blenkinsop in 1837 after South Australia's first Governor, Sir John Hindmarsh. The monument was built in 1930 to commemorate Charles Sturt's sighting of the Murray mouth.
