Right state, right area, but wrong town

Re: "Spot the Spot"

Clare, Kapunda, Stockport and Saddleworth are all incorrect.

North of Clare. On the way to one of Lofty's favourites destinations. Well at least that's one way to get there :wink:

Sorry for the delay in reponding. Not at home at the moment.

Re: "Spot the Spot"

Time for a hint.

I believe that the town was founded in 1875-1876 and proclaimed in 1895 and had something to do with William Lunn.

Thanks for the Clue

Spalding

Spalding is located 171 km from Adelaide and is a pleasant, small town located in a little patch of green in the desert which is the northern part of South Australia in summer. It is 43 km from the historic copper township of Burra. The road from Burra to Spalding passes through undulating land. The most distinctive feature of the road is that for a number of kilometres it is bounded on one side by a gas pipeline and on the other side by a canal. This is a very isolated area.

The town's proximity to Burra meant that in the 1840s prospectors entered the area searching for possible copper mining sites. They were partially successful. The 'Wheal Sarah' mine was established and worked for a number of years.

The town of Spalding was founded by William Edward Lunn in 1875-76 with the District Council being proclaimed in 1885. It is likely that the town was named after Spalding in Lincolnshire which happened to be the birthplace of William Lunn.

Re: "Spot the Spot"

That's the one. Over to you Boreman.

BTW, I have no real interest in Spalding. Just took a photo on the bridge on the way up to my brothers place in Jamestown last year.

This is a very nice place to be. This pool is about 4-5metres deep
