Eudunda Books Presented To SA Parliament Research Library

On Thursday 21st June 2022, several Eudunda Family Heritage Gallery volunteers travelled to Parliament House to donate books based on the Eudunda area to the South Australian Parliament Research Library.

When one of our volunteers, Samuel Doering, donated his first book to the Library in November 2021, it was discovered that no other books relating to Eudunda were in the collection; Thursday’s visit rectified this!

The Gallery donated thirteen local history books, from general histories of Eudunda and Robertstown, to more specific histories of the Eudunda Show, Eudunda Hospital, Eudunda Club, Hundred of Julia Creek, Brownlow and more.

We hope these books help our MPs gain a deeper insight into the rich history of our area.

The visitors gave a bit ‘Thank you’ to Dr. John Weste for giving them a tour of the extraordinary collection at the South Australian Parliament Research Library.

Gallery Partly Flooded During Freak Storm

Flooding in Main Street of Eudunda - 16th March 2022 — Flooding in Main Street of Eudunda (photo is in front of Heritage Gallery)- 16th March 2022

This is part of the media release put out by the Regional Council of Goyder,

“A storm that passed through Eudunda last week lashed the area with up to 50mm in less than an hour. The storm caused minor flooding in the township and damaged numerous roads. While the clean-up will take some weeks it has highlighted that there is still further work required in Eudunda to help address the ageing and outdated stormwater infrastructure. This is the second event of a similar magnitude in the last 6 months and the fifth time in the last 10 years.”
