Currency Creek, South Australia
Currency Creek (postcode 5214) is a township and locality in South Australia on the western shore of Lake Alexandrina about 6 km north of Goolwa, beside a seasonal stream bearing the same name - Currency Creek - which flows into Lake Alexandrina.
==History==
Parts of Lake Alexandrina near to Currency Creek were initially explored by Charles Sturt in an open boat in 1830 but he did not sight the creek.
In December 1837, while exploring the Lake and Murray Mouth looking for other outlets to the sea, explorers Thomas Bewes Strangways, Young Bingham Hutchinson and party discovered the waterway while using a whaleboat borrowed from the Encounter Bay fishery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/manning/pn/c/c17.htm#currencyC )〕 The whaleboat, which in September 1837 had been sold off the schooner ''Currency Lass'' at Adelaide, bore the same name as its mother ship, and they named the creek in honour of this boat.〔''Sydney Monitor'' newspaper, 16 August 1837, p. 2.〕 They reported on the good grassland in the area and its potential for agriculture.
The township was surveyed in the Currency Creek Special Survey of 1840 but it never really thrived due to the nearness of Goolwa. During the later 1800s the district supported many market gardens along the fertile river flats. The Currency Creek Cemetery contains many historic gravestones. It is notably large compared to the township for the reason that it has serviced the entire district for well over a century.
