Electoral District Of Hammond
Hammond is a single-member electoral district for the South Australian House of Assembly. It is named after Ruby Hammond, the first indigenous woman to stand for the Federal Parliament. Hammond is a rural electorate east and south-east of Adelaide, covering in the east and upper south-east of the state, and takes in the towns of Callington, Cambrai, Coomandook, Karoonda, Langhorne Creek, Mannum, Nildottie, Peake, Pinnaroo, Purnong and Tailem Bend. Hammond was created in the 1994 redistribution as a replacement for the electoral district of Ridley, and was first contested at the 1997 election. As it covers a largely conservative rural area, it was easily won by maverick Liberal member Peter Lewis, the former member for Ridley. Lewis briefly and unsuccessfully tried to have the electorate renamed in 1998 on the basis that Ruby Hammond had few ties to the electorate, proposing the revival of the name Murray-Mallee (which had covered most of Hammond's territory from 1985 to 1 ...

Victor Harbor Railway Line
The Victor Harbor railway line is a broad gauge line in South Australia. It originally branched from the Adelaide to Melbourne line at Mount Barker Junction then ran south to Victor Harbor. When the mainline was converted to standard gauge and the junction was closed, the northern end of the Victor Harbor line was curtailed at Mount Barker, from the junction. History South Australia's first railway venture was the line completed in 1854 from Goolwa, on the River Murray, to the small ocean harbour at Port Elliot. Short trains pulled by horses moved freight and passengers between the shallow-draft River Murray Paddle steamers and coastal and ocean-going vessels, bypassing the narrow, shallow mouth of the river with its unpredictable currents. However, Port Elliot was extremely hazardous; seven vessels had sunk there by 1864. The line was then extended to a safer harbour at Victor Harbor.
