History of Yacka

In pre-settlement days, the Ngadjuri people knew and named the land on which they lived.
One name they gave was Yackamoorundie, meaning 'sister to the big river', which may have referred to the creek later called by European settlers the Yackamoorundie Creek, as a 'sister' to the waterway which the exploring Eyre, passing that way in 1839, called the Broughton River.
When the pastoralists of Bundaleer took up the land in 1841 they used the name Yackamoorundie not only for the creek, but also for the shepherd's hut nearby, to the north-west of the current town of Yacka.
The name was used again when the land was surveyed for closer settlement, and the Hundred of Yackamoorundie was proclaimed in 1869.

FROM FIFE Bio sketch:   ELDER of SOUTH LEITH and KIRKCALDY:
...."The prosperity of this new firm was lain during the partnership of Elder Stirling & Co,
when they financed Sir William Watson Hughes' (from Pittenweem) newly-discovered copper mines at
Wallaroo and Moonta, which, after initial losses, brought huge returns..."

    " Yacka is a small town at the centre of sheep country in the mid-north of South Australia.
     The town lies on the Broughton River which rises in the Bundalee region to the north and
which is fed by a network of streams and creeks networking one of South Australia’s largest water catchments.
     The Broughton, of course, has watered regional farms for generations, but these days it
attracts anglers from far and wide to fish for the trout with which it is regularly re-stocked.
    Nearby Spalding, which is at the centre of the Broughton catchment, hosts Geralka Rural Farm
where you can watch those gentle giants of working farm animals, Clydesdales, haul ploughs and other farm machinery.
    A tour of the replica of the Wheal Sarah Mine gives you an insight into conditions and hardships
experienced by early miners when copper was king in these parts.
   If the lure of sea breezes and fish become too much, it is a comfortable drive to Port Broughton or Fisherman Bay."
