Gawler Ranges
The Gawler Ranges are a range of stoney hills in South Australia to the north of Eyre Peninsula. The Eyre Highway skirts the south of the ranges. The Gawler Ranges National Park and Gawler Ranges Conservation Park are in the ranges north of Kimba and Wudinna. The ranges are covered by the Gawler Ranges Native Title Claim.
==History==
The ranges were named by Edward John Eyre after the Governor of South Australia, George Gawler in 1839.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gawler Ranges National Park )〕 This was on one of Eyre's earlier expeditions before his famous crossing of the Nullarbor Plain further west. And it was on this expedition that Edward John Eyre made the first recorded sighting of South Australia's floral emblem, the Sturt desert pea, in 1839 during an early exploration of the region.〔(South Australia - Gawler Ranges )〕
Stephen Hack explored the range in 1856 and in 1857 the first pastoral lease was taken up in the area and more sheep stations were soon established. Two good seasons followed in 1857 and 1858 with pastoralists reporting permanent freshwater lakes on their runs. Stations were required to stock 50 sheep per square mile (19 per square kilometre) but soon properties such as Nonning were shearing flocks of 90,000. The first mail service from Port Augusta to Yardea commenced in 1876, with the telegraph service to Western Australia that passes through the range commencing in 1903〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of the Gawler Ranges )〕
