A block on Aldinga's Old Coach Road passed from the family who founded the township to three generations of blacksmiths — the Pengillys, then John Noah Crisp — who kept the district's horses shod and its coaches built for the best part of a century.

Publican, brewer, mill-builder, and Member of Parliament — Alexander Anderson founded the township of Morphett Vale and ran the emu hotel for six years. His feud with the Reynells ran for over a decade, ending when the district rallied to drive him from the magistracy months before his death in 1862.

Mildred Constance Dunstan's clifftop guest house at Port Willunga ran for nearly fifty years from 1907, drawing Adelaide families to the dunes above the Gulf.

In 1858 a young woman broke a champagne bottle against the new timber bridge at Clarendon. The ford it replaced had tested every cart and carrier on the road south for twenty years. Sixty years later the timber was rotting — the ford pressed into service one last time before a concrete arch took its place.

Thomas Shipway died in bed, July 1923, aged 84 — a day after riding 16 miles to Willunga to preach both Methodist services. He'd preached most Sundays for 59 years and shod horses in Clarendon for 60.
Arrived in the colony aged 9 in 1849, apprenticed to blacksmith John Buddle in 1854, then ran his own forge on Clarendon's Main Road from 1863 — working the anvil into his 80s.

For two decades a flying fox carried buckets of clean white sand over the dunes behind Maslin Beach to a railway siding on the Willunga line, and the Noarlunga Sand Company fed the concrete of a growing Adelaide.

In 1895, Lambert & Rosa Christie established a farm across what is now Christies Beach. The area remained farming land until 1923, when Rosa Christie created the first subdivision .
Better road and rail links south of Adelaide soon brought tourists flocking to the coast. Before long, holiday cottages and shacks were springing up on Witton Bluff and down onto the beach itself.

Emu Wines began in the 1840s when Patrick Auld established vineyards at Magill, later moving to Morphett Vale where he added a distillery. Emu became famous for its ports and sherries, exporting globally. Hardys later acquired the brand, continuing its legacy. The Southern Districts Workingmen’s Club now occupies the original site. #MorphettVale #SAHistory #WineHistory #hardys #Reynella

Victory Road at Sellicks Beach once linked Noarlunga to the southern Fleurieu — following an ancient Kaurna track. Built in 1858 through John Norman’s persistence, it shaped travel across the peninsula and earned him a hotel in his name.
