| 説明 | In 1839 Neill and John Malcolm of Poltalloch in Scotland applied in London for a £4,000 for 4,000 acres Special Survey around the shores of Lake Alexandrina. The survey was not finished until 1841 and then the Malcolm’s began their estate as absentee landlords with a local manager. In 1842 a simple Scottish style cottage was built on the property. Behind the narrow strip of 4,000 acres along the Lake the Malcolm’s took out an annual lease, and later a 14 year lease on a huge estate of 24,000 acres which they ran as a cattle station and dairy. Neill Malcolm inherited Poltalloch from his brother in 1857 and also acquired a lease for Campbell Park, an adjoining run on Lake Albert. In 1873 the freehold and leased land of Poltalloch was sold to John Bowman and family of Martindale Hall, Holm Hill ,Werocata, Bowmans, Crystal Brook and other runs. The Malcolm name lives on in Point Malcolm and the lighthouse on the way to Narrung and Raukkan (Point McLeay) Aboriginal Reserve. John Bowman re-established Poltalloch as a sheep station building a huge stone shearing shed in 1876 and a grand two storey Italianate mansion in the same year. The property was developed quickly by the Bowmans into a small village with station store, pump houses, carriage sheds, workshops, workers cottages, shearers’ quarters, overseer’s house etc. There is great architectural cohesion between the buildings as almost all are built of local limestone. The main house is surrounded by an historic limestone wall. The garden has huge Moreton Bay Figs planted around 1880. The homestead has wide verandas, dressed pick faced stone, extensive use of Australian cedar, and a wide front door of cedar. The verandas have extensive wrought iron work and such features are carried over into the carriage shed and on top of some of the stone walls. The house and shearing shed are on the Register for the National Estate. Descendants of John Bowman still live on the property and run it with sheep. The property also has its own small jetty and in earlier years most of the goods and wool were transported across Lake Alexandrina to the wharves at Milang. By the 1880s Milang had a train service to Adelaide thus reducing the isolation of Poltalloch Station. |
