| 説明 | Yongala Station. Early pastoralist Daniel Cudmore of Ireland took out the Yongala pastoral run in the 1847 covering an area of 42 square miles. He added another 33 square miles to this run in 1854. He also had other leasehold runs at Wilmington and Renmark (Paringa), some in partnership with his brother James Cudmore. He made a fortune from the Yongala run and it became a major pastoral estate. Daniel Cudmore sold his Yongala runs in 1869 to Alexander McCulloch. The government resumed the run in 1870 for closer settlement and McCulloch was left with just 11 square miles. Alexander McCulloch died in 1890. The Hundred of Yongala was declared in 1871 with Yongala town gazetted in 1876 and the first farmers settling near the town in 1872. Meantime Yongala station continued to exist further to the south of the town with 11 square miles of leasehold land which soon became freehold land owned by Alexander McCulloch. McCulloch purchased the leasehold from Daniel Cudmore in 1869 then when the government resumed it around 1872 and offered it for sale he purchased 53,000 acres to maintain Yongala station. This land was purchased by the South Australian government in 1900 from the trustees of Alexander McCulloch’s estate as he had died in 1890. The land was then subdivided and sold to farmers in 1902 with the establishment of the Canowie Belt district which was also known as Yongala Blocks. This well-watered land is flat, although at high altitude, and is ideal for cereal growing. Yongala station still exists as a large district property with its grand homestead and old stone sheds and barns. The manager of Yongala Station for McCulloch was offered the homestead and the homestead block of around 1,000 acres in 1902. The name Yongala crops up in SA several times. The Adelaide Steamship Company a steamer named the Yongala and there is a Yongala Avenue at Tranmere. |
