WelcomeHalfway across Australia on Eyre Highway, Kimba is a friendly picturesque town. It is the Eastern Gateway to the spectacular Gawler Ranges, which are a 100 kilometres drive north-west, offering visitors the chance to experience the open spaces and solitude of the outback. Pastoral leases were first granted around Kimba in 1872 and the first crops sown in 1908, leading to the district’s reputation today as one of South Australia’s major grain belts. Kimba is now a thriving community with most modern facilities including two supermarkets, a laundromat, internet access at the community library, and a variety of accommodation and mechanical services.

It is a beautiful rural community of approximately 1,050 residents, who have chosen to live, work, raise families and retire in a safe, serene environment. You will find the community friendly and relaxed; they are open to visitors and eager to help those in need. The town has all the amenities needed to assist the traveller. Quiet, peaceful and friendly, a community built on hard work, honesty and family values. Enjoy the relaxed environment that you will find in Kimba and districts.

Edward John Eyre SculptureEdward John Eyre, born in England in 1815, is remembered as the first man to cross this continent from Sydney to the Swan River. He was the first man to record this exploration of the three sides of the peninsula named in his honour. Lake Eyre and the Eyre Highway are also named in recognition of his skill, perseverance and courage as an explorer.

In 1838 he led an expedition from Streaky Bay. Passing through sandy terrain and scrubby vegetation, Eyre reached the Gawler Ranges where he identified Sturt’s Desert Pea. Water had been scarce and Eyre was glad to find a good supply at Baxter’s Range. The expedition ended at Depot Creek, near Mt Arden.

In 1840 this trek was reversed by Eyre’s overseer, John Baxter. Recent rain had ensured adequate water and the party was able to follow the tracks made by their wagons the previous year. Meanwhile Eyre explored the eastern side of the peninsula. It was very hard for the horses to penetrate the dense vegetation. Feed was scarce and water more so. About 45 kilometres east of the sculptures, Eyre found good grass and a spring of water. He was so relieved that he named the place Refuge Rocks, “for such they were to us in our difficulties”. At Port Lincoln, Eyre arranged for supplies to be shipped from Adelaide.

In 1841 Eyre left Port Lincoln and headed north west to Streaky Bay where he met John Baxter. Arrangements were made to ship supplies to Fowler’s Bay and the party set out for W.A. Poor feed and shortage of water so weakened the horses that they were not able to carry all the provisions wanted by the men.

Eyre was determined to explore beyond the Head of the Bight and was very aware of the difficulties ahead. At Fowler’s Bay he sent non-essential supplies and four men back to Adelaide by ship. It was at this stage that the Aboriginal tracker joined the expedition. Lack of water, scarcity of feed, difficult terrain and extremes of weather all combined to make this trek along the coast so arduous that men and horses perished. Fortunately for Eyre and his tracker, a whaling ship was anchored at Rossiter’s Bay and the two survivors were able to recuperate sufficiently to finish the trek to Albany.

Erected in November 2011, these stunning figures are an artistic tribute to Edward John Eyre and the Indigenous men whose bush skills he so often relied on.

Sculpted by Roland Weight and Marcus Possingham Commissioned by the District Council of Kimba Tourism Committee and funded by the District Council of Kimba and Tourism Development Grant.

kimba attractionsThe Kimba and Gawler Ranges Historical Museum The Kimba Gawler Ranges Historical Society was formed in 1971 by local people concerned with preserving the history of the Kimba District. Located in mallee parkland opposite the large grain silos on the Eyre Highway the Museum has occupied this site since 1973, developing as needed and as money allows. The first project under taken was the relocating of an early dwelling (Pioneer House) which was built around 1908 when the Haskett Bros grew the first crop of wheat on a natural plain south east of Kimba.

An old railway turnstile gives foot access to Government sheds, Dog Fence, water conservation and Blacksmith Shop. The Museum houses some amazing pioneering tools and a pine and pug cottage. Now with 17 buildings housing historical items, come and experience the living Museum and wander through the Pioneer House. The Government Shed Settlers Home, One Teacher School, Pioneer Store, Farming Machinery, Stationary Engines, ‘Clancy’ the Fire Truck and the Telephone Exchange are also interesting historical displays.

The museum is run by volunteers and demonstrations are available for school groups on arrangement. Coaches and tourists are welcome, there is wheelchair access to most buildings and there are toilet facilities.

Open Tuesday to Thursday 9:00am – 11:00am and 2:00pm – 4:00pm, and on Sunday 1:30pm- 4:00pm.

Or by appointment, phone 0429 163 906, (08) 8627 2684 or (08) 8627 2303.

Roora Reserve Nature Trail and Whites Knob LookoutThe Roora Reserve Nature Trail is on the outskirts of Kimba and is approximately a six kilometre return walk. The trail features several sculptures made out of recycled steel so keep your eye out for various native animals including an echidna, emu, wombat and more. The sculptures are the artistic work of Ty Manning and he was commissioned by the District Council of Kimba Tourism Committee to undertake the work. The trail also features informative signs providing information on key features along the trail for example the “Chapple” which housed dam construction workers.

The walking trail consists of two kilometres of easy walking through the old Roora Water Reserve, with the third kilometre gradually rising as you reach the Whites Knob Lookout. Whites Knob is an ironstone conglomerate outcrop formation on the north western outskirts of Kimba, providing a delightful vantage point to view the surrounding countryside in any direction. A directional dial will help you to identify prominent landmarks up to 50 kilometres away. A sculpture of Edward John Eyre and his Aboriginal tracker who surveyed the area feature at the top of the lookout. A Telecommunication Tower is also situated in the area and is approximately 86 metres high.

Things to Remember:

gawler ranges national parkThe Park is located in the spectacular southern Gawler Ranges. This virtually untouched Park consists of ancient rolling hills interspersed with wide-open plains and fascinating geological features including Kolay Mirica Falls, Mt Allalone, Waulkinna Hill and the stunning Organ Pipes. Seasonal water flows make these sites even more impressive.

At least 21 rare and threatened species occur in the Park including Major Mitchell’s Cockatoo and the beautiful Yellow-footed Rock-wallaby.

The striking beauty, abundant wildlife and vibrant seasonal wildflowers attract many visitors to Gawler Ranges National Park. The Park provides access tracks for both 2WD and 4WD vehicles as well as opportunities for bushwalking and cycling.

Bush camping is available in designated camping areas.

Adjacent to Waganny 2WD campground, Waulkinna Hill is a granite hill with spectacular rock formations sculpted over the millennia. A great place for a quiet picnic or a short climb will provide sweeping views of Sturt Lake and an array of seasonal wildflowers.

Old Paney Homestead, built in 1888, provides a glimpse into the rich pastoral heritage of the Gawler Ranges. Nearby Policeman’s Point is the site of the first police camp in the region and a short walk will take you to a beautiful gorge that flows seasonally in a series of waterfalls and rock holes.

Access is suitable for 2WD vehicles via the Old Paney Scenic Route.

Please note the possibility of periodical closures of the park for feral animal control (commonly in August and February/March). For more information regarding park information including closures ring (08) 8648 1883, (08) 8625 3144 or go to: www.environment.sa.gov.au/parks/Find_a_Park/Browse_by_region/ Eyre_Peninsula/Gawler_Ranges_National_Park

Entry and camping fees apply.

Pastoral HistoryEdward John Eyre was the first white man to traverse the Gawler Ranges in 1839. In 1857 Yardea Station was the first pastoral lease taken up in the area. The years 1857 and ’58 must have been good rain over the country as all the explorers spoke of ‘permanent’ fresh water lakes, of which there are none, except after good rains.

The Land Regulations of the day required pastoralists to stock their runs with 19 sheep per square kilometre in the late 1860’s. This saw approximately 90,000 sheep being shorn at properties such as Nonning Station. Harsh arid conditions and unreliable water supply found those sheep numbers unsustainable.

parks and reservesGawler RangesThe Gawler Ranges is one of South Australia’s awesome natural wonders, formed by volcanic activity hundreds of millions of years ago. When you walk or drive through the Ranges you are witness to a landscape of unimaginable antiquity, a landscape that must have been home to dinosaurs.

The Gawler Ranges landscape has been exposed to the elements since its creation. It is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, landscapes on Earth. The extensive rolling hills consist of rock formed from ash spewed out by massive volcanic eruptions almost 1600 million years ago. As the volcanic ash cooled and consolidated, columnar joints developed. These columns or pipes are typically 5-6 sided and many examples can be seen throughout the Ranges, but are best experienced at sites like Policeman’s Point or the Organ Pipes. The vast hill and valley complexes, rocky gorges and seasonal water flows create a stunning landscape of natural beauty. It is most spectacular in spring when covered with a colourful carpet of wildflowers. Among the most impressive features are the usually dry salt lakes bounded by ancient hills. Lake Gairdner is the most famous of these. Your first view of this brilliant white salt lake set against a backdrop of huge domes of red rock will be an experience you will never forget.

A diverse range of plants and animals occur in the Gawler Ranges region. The area is an interface between the Eyre Peninsula mallee country and the drier arid zone to the north of the Ranges. Wildlife from both zones occur in the Gawler Ranges and surveys have recorded over 400 different native plants and animals, including 225 plant, 45 reptile, 3 frog, 126 bird and 18 mammal species.

Seasonal conditions of the Gawler Ranges are mild to hot in summer and cool to cold in winter. Rainfall is generally low and can be unreliable. The best time of year to visit the region is in winter and spring.

Mt IvesThe 900 sq kilometre property provides some of the best opportunities to enjoy the vast volcanic landscape of the ancient Gawler Ranges. Attractions include ridge top scenic tracks, 4WD and 2WD tracks, guided tours by arrangement, Lake Gairdner, organ pipe rock formations, bush walking, bird watching, historical sites and photography. Accommodation includes shearer’s quarters, stone huts and camp grounds including powered and unpowered sites and bush camping.

For more information phone (08) 8648 1817 or email [email protected]

Lake Gairdner National ParkThis Park features salt lakes, including Lake Gairdner, Lake Everard and Lake Harris, and 315 islands. Experience breathtaking views over vast white salt sheets contrasted with spectacular ancient red ranges. The lakes hold special significance to the local Aboriginal people.

The Park can be accessed from the Waltumba Tank Public Access Route in the west, or through Mt Ive Station to the south. The lake surface can be treacherous and vehicles are not permitted. Bush camping is allowed adjacent to the lake at Waltumba Tank or on Mt Ive Station by arrangement.

Pinkawillinie Conservation ParkThis huge mallee park offers plenty of four-wheel driving opportunities. Adjoining Gawler Ranges National Park, Pinkawillinie is a vast area of virgin bushland that boasts vibrant wildflowers during spring. It has two tracks for 4WD only, which are the Buckleboo Stock Route and Corrobinnie Road. Access for conventional vehicles is via Stringer Highway. No facilities are provided.

Corrobinnie Hill Conservation ParkThis small Park includes the ancient granite dome known as Corrobinnie Hill. Over the millennia, the granite has weathered into an array of amazing boulders and caves. From the top of Corrobinnie Hill you will experience sweeping 360-degree views of farming country, granite outcrops, Pinkawillinie Conservation Park and the distant Gawler Ranges. No facilities are provided. Access is strictly 4WD only from Wudinna in the south or the Buckleboo Stock Route in the north.

14

Lake Gilles Conservation ParkThis Park is a semi-arid mallee landscape comprising salt lakes, low sandy rises, gypsum dunes and isolated stony hills. Access to the lake via the Eyre Highway seventeen kilometres east of Kimba is suitable for conventional vehicles. The northern area adjacent to the lake is accessible only by 4WD. No facilities are provided.

Secret RocksAlso known as Refuge Rocks, this impressive granite hill was discovered by Edward John Eyre in 1841 when his expedition party used it as a rest camp when exploring the ‘great west’. Camping and picnicking is permitted in front of the rocks. It is located thirty five kilometres east of Kimba on the Old Whyalla Road.

For more information email [email protected]

Bascombe Rocks LookoutA pleasant 20 kilometre drive along the sealed Buckleboo Road through undulating farming country will bring you to Bascombe Rocks. From atop the granite outcrops you have panoramic views of the surrounding native bushland. Around the base of the Rocks investigate the innovative water catchments that were built by the early pioneers of the district and can still be seen today. After it rains the rock holes fill with water and here you will discover hundreds of lively tadpoles. After exploring the Rocks relax with a drink or lunch under the picnic shelter.

Caralue BluffCaralue Bluff Conservation Reserve covers an area of around 2,200 hectares and is located 27 kilometres west of Kimba. There is a picnic ground on the western side and you can go bushwalking and hill climbing to overlook a large part of the Eyre Peninsula hinterland.

Carappee HillCarappee Hill Conservation Park is the most extensive and highest exposed granite rock on Eyre Peninsula, at 495 metres above sea level. It contains numerous soaks, frequented by kangaroos and other wildlife. Situated approximately 53 kilometres south west of Kimba. Take an energetic climb to the top following the painted white arrows from the southern corner, or stroll on the eastern side. It was dedicated as a conservation park in 1973 and covers an area of approximately 920 hectares. There are also picnic areas and bush toilets.

In 1839, three years after South Australia was declared a colony, the first white man known to pass through the Kimba District was explorer Edward John Eyre. For thousands of years prior to this, Aboriginal tribes from the Gawler Ranges tracked through the area until 1905, when the first settlers came. Leases were held over the 60 square miles (100 square kilometres). The hundred of Kelly, surveyed in 1898, was the first area settled.

The railway line reached Kimba in 1913 and the township declared in 1915. A vigilance committee managed district affairs until the formation of The District Council of Kimba in 1924.

From 1924 to 1929 Kimba gained a hospital, institute, school, police station, post office, hotel, banks, shops, garages and the town and district prospered. Twenty-three one teacher schools were erected throughout the settlement. The railway line extended north to Buckleboo in 1926. Permanent water had always been Kimba’s biggest drawback until 1973 when water was piped from Polda. A separate pipeline was completed in the last decade which carries water from the River Murray.

The first crop of wheat was sown in 1908 on 20 acres (8 hectares) land which was ploughed with a horse-drawn five foot (1.5 metre) plough. Technology has continued to develop since these early days of agriculture, from the change from axe to crawler tractor to clear the land, from horse teams to tractors in the 1940’s to 1950’s to pull machinery, and stump rakes replacing hand picking of stumps. Crops that were harvested with stripper and winnower were replaced by combine harvester (Header).

Today crops are sown with sophisticated tractors and sowing equipment, using computers and GPS systems to not only steer the equipment, but also allow the farmer to vary inputs such as seed, fertilizer and other crop protection products. Modern machines are capable of applying these inputs precisely to varying soil types or production zones. Harvesters now monitor and record yield variances across paddocks, with this information going back to the farm office for evaluation and used in planning seeding inputs to maximise crop yields on varying soil types.

Livestock, particularly sheep, have always been a big part of the districts economy, with many flocks seen as we travel around.

Throughout the district’s history, yields of crops and pastures have increased with the adoption of innovative practices and improvements in plant breeding and the area continues to prosper in a low and variable rainfall environment.

Our farmers will continue to produce food so desperately needed throughout the world.
