District Council Of Burra Burra
The District Council of Burra Burra was a local government area in South Australia from 1935 to 1997. It was proclaimed on 21 March 1935, with effect from 1 May 1935, as a result of the amalgamation of the District Council of Burra, District Council of Hanson, the District Council of Mount Bryan and a substantial portion of the abolished District Council of Booborowie. It consolidated most of the Burra area - including the Hundreds of Ayers, Baldina, Hanson, King, Kingston, Kooringa, Mongolata and Rees - under one municipality, with the exception of the Corporate Town of Burra in the Burra township itself, which remained separate. The new council continued to use the offices of the former District Council of Burra, which were in the Burra Institute building. In 1936, the principal towns were described as Aberdeen, Ayers, Booborowie, Davies, Farrell Flat, Kooringa and Mount Bryan. (Today, Aberdeen and Kooringa are now part of Burra, the Hundred of Ayers is divided between Boobor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Burra, South Australia
Burra is a pastoral centre and historic tourist town in the mid-north of South Australia. It lies east of the Clare Valley in the Bald Hills range, part of the northern Mount Lofty Ranges, and on Burra Creek. The town began as a single company mining township that, by 1851, was a set of townships (company, private and government-owned) collectively known as "The Burra". The Burra mines supplied 89% of South Australia's and 5% of the world's copper for 15 years, and the settlement has been credited (along with the mines at Kapunda) with saving the economy of the struggling new colony of South Australia. The Burra Burra Copper Mine was established in 1848 mining the copper deposit discovered in 1845. Miners and townspeople migrated to Burra primarily from Cornwall, Wales, Scotland and Germany. The mine first closed in 1877, briefly opened again early in the 20th century and for a last time from 1970 to 1981. When the mine was exhausted and closed the population shrank dramatically ...

Corporate Town Of Burra
The Corporate Town of Burra was a local government area in South Australia from 1876 to 1969. The municipality was proclaimed on 29 June 1876 following the necessary petition of residents in the townships of Aberdeen, Kooringa and Redruth, severing the area from the new District Council of Burra. It was divided into three wards at its inception: North Ward, Middle Ward and South Ward (North, East, and West Wards from 1884). The proclamation named Philip Lane as the first mayor, and George Sara and August Bartholomaus (North Ward), Robert Sanders and Edward Lipsett (Middle Ward), and Joseph Roberts and John Snell (South Ward) as the first councillors. It met for the first time on 10 July, and established a council chamber in the Burra Institute. The creation of the Burra corporation followed an unsuccessful attempt in 1875 by the residents of the northern townships of Aberdeen and Redruth to form their own corporation. The municipality used a shaft of the Bon Accord mine as its wa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Former Local Government Areas Of South Australia
A former is an object, such as a template, gauge or cutting die, which is used to form something such as a boat's hull. Typically, a former gives shape to a structure that may have complex curvature. A former may become an integral part of the finished structure, as in an aircraft fuselage, or it may be removable, being using in the construction process and then discarded or re-used. Aircraft formers Formers are used in the construction of aircraft fuselage, of which a typical fuselage has a series from the nose to the empennage, typically perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The primary purpose of formers is to establish the shape of the fuselage and reduce the column length of stringers to prevent instability. Formers are typically attached to longerons, which support the skin of the aircraft. The "former-and-longeron" technique (also called stations and stringers) was adopted from boat construction, and was typical of light aircraft built until the ad ...

Regional Council Of Goyder
The Regional Council of Goyder is a local government area located in the Mid North region of South Australia. The council area is reliant on agriculture as a mainstay of its economy, with manufacturing and tourism also becoming prominent. The council seat lies at Burra, with a branch office situated at Eudunda. History The Regional Council of Goyder was created in 1997, when four municipalities in the region were amalgamated: the District Council of Burra Burra, the District Council of Eudunda, the District Council of Hallett and the District Council of Robertstown. Mining features prominently in the region's history, particularly the mining of copper. Goyder is named after former Surveyor General George Goyder who mapped Goyder's Line (of rainfall) in 1865. This map is still of great relevance to local cereal cropping as the line dissects the council area. It is also of great cultural importance to whole upper Mid North region of South Australia, with the 150th anniversary of ...

Booborowie, South Australia
Booborowie is a locality in South Australia. It is located north of Adelaide. At the 2016 census, the Booborowie district had a population of 218. Booborowie Station In 1843, Dr William James Browne and his brother Dr John Harris Browne took up the Booborowie run. In 1851 they purchased a crown lease of 153 square miles, and in 1853 the brothers purchased 46,978 acres of the lease. The Browne brothers established a merino stud and ran shorthorn cattle. They went on to purchase properties on the Adelaide Plains, at Mount Gambier, the Flinders Ranges, and the Eyre Peninsula, and were instrumental in establishing Katherine in the Northern Territory. This led to a large sheep and cattle drive, under the supervision of Alfred Giles, to leave South Australia in 1878. The northern portion of the station was sold to Henry Dutton and George Melrose in 1897. The remainder of the station was sold in 1910 and 1912 for closer settlement.

District Council Of Booborowie
The District Council of Booborowie was a local government area in South Australia from 1875 to 1935. It was proclaimed on 6 May 1875, following strong support at a public meeting the previous year. It initially comprised the cadastral Hundred of Ayers (modern Booborowie, North Booborowie and parts of Burra and Leighton). It would later also gain the Hundred of Anne (modern Canowie, Willalo and parts of Hallett) to the north of the existing council, under the ''District Councils Act 1887''. The council initially met in the Booborowie eating house and Cobb and Co coach stopover prior to the construction of the Booborowie Council Chambers, on Main Road, Booborowie, in 1888-1889. The former council chambers survive today and are listed on the South Australian Heritage Register. The council was abolished in 1935 following sweeping Local Government Commission recommendations that proposed cutting the number of municipalities in South Australia from 196 to 142.
