A Gateway to the North

For History Month the Mallala Museum has highlighted the topic “A Gateway to the North”

Travellers into the area discover an array of place names. Many of these belonged to settlements where now only the remnants of their existence remain.

The Mallala Museum presents displays which illustrate aspects of life for those who ventured into the country. This wiki aims to tell the stories of these communities as they built these places to service their needs. These were fine achievements in the absence of reticulated water or provision of electricity. In the “Register” a South Australian Newspaper on Friday 21 May 1926 it is reported “Mallala, May 19- the town is now in a happy position of being supplied with electricity. A number of residents assembled in the street on Monday evening to witness the switching on of the light.” see article:Electricity arrives
