Olary is a settlement on the Barrier Highway in South Australia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2905.0 - Statistical Geography: Volume 2 -- Census Geographic Areas, Australia, 2006 )〕 It is situated near Olary Creek and is one of the easternmost settlements in South Australia. The name "Olary" was first given to a nearby well or waterhole by pastoralists Duffield, Harrold and Hurd. This small settlement was established in the late 1880s to service the highway and the railway which pass through here. ''O'Lary'' Post Office opened on 12 October 1886, was renamed ''Oolarie'' around 1888 and ''Olary'' around 1896. After the modernisation of transport which travelled between Adelaide and Broken Hill the village population declined. However it still has a hotel and general store to cater for the transient road and railway workers and travellers. The Flinders-Olary NatureLink includes the mountainous Flinders and Olary Ranges together with the connecting plains country to cover 6% of the South Australian state. In 2010 the historic Bimbowrie Cobb and Co coach house near Olary became the scene of a traditional restoration operation with almost 20 tradespeople attending a five-day training course in stonemasonry restoration techniques. Low-security prisoners from the Port Augusta gaol were among those who assisted with the project. ==See also== *List of cities and towns in South Australia 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「Olary, South Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
