Adelaide Hills Early History
5
Posted by Christine JONES on 1st May 2018

An excellent and interesting look at the early colonial history of the Adelaide Hills towns of Balhannah, Woodside, Lobethal, Forest Range, Lenswood and others. A resource providing maps, early landowners listings, photos, and a comparison of architectural styles that adorned the Onkaparinga Valley.
