Angorichina Station is a pastoral lease operating as sheep station located approximately east of Blinman in the Flinders Ranges. The lease was first taken up by Mr. Boord, who established Angorichina in the 1850s. In 1859, the property was visited by the surveyors Selwyn and Goyder and by the Governor of South Australia, Richard MacDonnell. Later the same year a shepherd on Angorichina Station, Robert Blinman, first discovered copper and took out a mining lease which later became the Blinman mine. Walter Henry McFarlane acquired Angorichia in the early 1920s after disposing of Warrioota Station. In 1941 the property was carrying a flock of 38,000 sheep that produced 1,300 bales of wool. Angorichina now occupies an area of and is currently owned and managed by Ian and Di Fargher. The property is composed of hills, creek beds and gorges as well as extensive plains of saltbush. The station homestead was constructed on the 1860s and has been extensively renovated to be used as tourist accommodation. ==Angorichina Village== Angorichina Village takes its name from Angorichina Station. It is a small tourist village about 20 km west of Angorichina Station, and comprised accommodation, caravan park and some services. The site was originally established as a tuberculosis sanatorium. British author Marion Grace Woolley's ''Angorichina'', 2011 ISBN 9780956276629 is set at the sanatorium. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Angorichina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
