Another wonderful collection
of old buildings that would provide a great photo opportunity for
those so inclined. Remember though: Take nothing BUT
photographs; leave nothing but
footprints!
Background.
This site was known as
Ziegeler’s Corner, as the Ziegeler family lived here from 1891
(Ziegeler was also a blacksmith, and walked daily to work in
Eudunda, 10km to the north).
This whole farm group is of heritage interest in itself, because
it represents the settlement of the Neale’s Flat area by German
farming families in the late 19th century.
(Neale’s Flat
(3km northeast of this location) at that time was more populous
than Eudunda, but little evidence remains of that community
now.)
Almost all the farm buildings were, until recently, well
preserved. The original pug and pine cottage, which probably dates
from the 1870’s, is very well preserved, including the hessian
remains of the ceiling. Two later mud and stone buildings stand
near the cottage as well as a stone tank and the ruins of an
underground room. There is also a large, dry dam and what was once
a wooden-paling fenced garden.

Let your imagination fill the
property with the lives of long gone occupants. Picture them in
their neat, tidy home with beautiful white-washed walls and the
trappings of civilisation they brought with them to this far-off
corner of the world so long ago. Enjoy.
The Cache.
You are looking for a long, round container. It’s
on the public side of the fence. Please check that the container is
sealed tight before you return it and ensure the camouflage is
replaced.
The cache site was decimated by a bulldozer in Apr 09 and the cache
was (presumably) destroyed. I have replaced and relocated it about
80m from the original
position.
As it has been moved some distance, I will allow
previous finders to log a second smiley for
this.
