Geocache Description:



RICHARDSON  PARK  -  SEVENHILL

The town's oval is found east of the main cross road and has toilet facilities. It supports a cricket team during the summer months and tennis facilities are also located here.

Sevenhill is at the 'heart' of the Clare Valley, and is a hub for the locals and tourists visiting the Region. It is a perfect place to gain access to the Riesling trail walking and cycling route, just east of the town, with off-road parking facilities available.
So you can walk or drive  to the Catholic Cemetary and  to St Aloysius Church and Sevenhill  Winery.

The first settlers in the area were the Jesuits and the Prussian-born population who later established themselves at their property at Hill River, now adjoining Pikes Winery. Francis Weikert donated land for the first Jesuits to establish the current Saint Aloysius Church and Sevenhill Winery. Weikert is buried in the Sevenhill cemetery. It was from these first settlers that the vine rootlings were established, allowing the current winery industry to flourish in the Region.
