Red Gum Native Forest Reserves - ForestrySA

Cultural Heritage
8
These Reserves are within the territory formerly occupied by the Bunganditj Tribe.
However no evidence of occupation sites has been observed as they preferred to
camp on drier and more elevated ground near permanent water.
A map of Pastoral Leases in the South-East of S.A. circa 1865 shows that Round
Waterhole NFR was part of Lease No. 180 ‘Limestone Ridge’ in the name of
Cameron, and Muddy Flat NFR was part of lease No. 181 ‘Krongart’ in the name
of Minnitt.
Six houses owned by ForestrySA (four built prior to 1931) were situated near the
main road in the south-eastern part of Section 196. Penola Forest employees
occupied these houses until they were removed in 1985.
Section 197 formerly part of Stone Reserve No. 1 was granted for school
purposes in 1931. Children from Penola Forest and local farms attended this
school from 1931 up to about 1939 when a new school was built in Nangwarry.
This land was resumed for Forestry purposes in 1950.
The open area north of the former school land and adjacent the main road was
used as a nursery to raise pine seedlings for some years prior to 1955.
