History

Aboriginal cultures

In Australian Aboriginal mythology, Waterfall Gully and the surrounding Mount Lofty Ranges are part of the story of the ancestor-creator Nganno. Travelling across the land of the native Kaurna people, Nganno was wounded in a battle and laid down to die, forming the Mount Lofty Ranges. The current name of the Greater Mount Lofty Parklands, Yurrebilla, is taken from the Kaurna name for the twin hills of Mount Lofty and Mount Bonython, which are supposed to be Nganno's ears. Link titleMedia:Example. ... Kaurna refers to the indigenous or aboriginal people and language of the Adelaide Plains of South Australia. ... Mount Lofty Summit Looking towards Mount Lofty Summit, with Mount Lofty Hotel in the foreground and Gulf St. ... Mount Bonython is one of two major hills in the Adelaide hills. ...

An early settler of the neighbouring suburb of Beaumont, James Milne Young, described the local Kaurnas: "At every creek and gully you would see their wurlies [simple Aboriginal homes made out of twigs and grass] and their fires at night... often as many as 500 to 600 would be camped in various places... some behind the Botanic Gardens on the banks of the river; some toward the Ranges; some on the Waterfall Gully."^[1] Beaumont is a suburb of Adelaide in the City of Burnside. ...

The Aborigines' main presence was on the River Torrens and the creeks that flowed into it, including Waterfall Gully's First Creek. These were also the most prized areas for the new European settlers. Displaced abruptly and then afflicted by European diseases that they had no natural immunity for, the Aboriginal population went into steady decline.

European settlement

Waterfall Gully in 1866

Waterfall Gully was discovered by Europeans soon after the establishment of Adelaide. The first Europeans to sight the First Creek Waterfall were most likely Brigham Hutchison and William Burt. The two men discovered it in April 1837 whilst searching for a route to the Mount Lofty Summit, mentioning that the "luxuriance of the plants and underwood by the side of the brook, being in many places over our heads" were major obstacles to their climb.^[2] The area surrounding the Waterfall was proclaimed a reserve for recreation purposes in 1884.

The area soon became a tourist attraction for the early South Australian colonists. However, during this period the population of the nearby village of Burnside was expanding and required a new water supply. First Creek — which runs down Waterfall Gully and enters the River Torrens near today's Botanic Gardens — was seen as the perfect solution to the water shortage. A weir was built during 1881 and 1882 by the Adelaide colony's Hydraulic Engineers Department. The weir was made to hold approximately two megalitres (530,000 US gallons) and a pipeline was built from it to Burnside. With continued development of farms and orchards further up the catchment region, the water quality quickly deteriorated and was rendered useless. By this time however, Adelaide was supplied by newer reservoirs in other areas such as Happy Valley. A tourist attraction is a place where tourists, foreign and domestic, normally visit. ...

The Waterfall Area in 1872

A number of small-scale silver-lead mines were dug during the latter part of the 19th century and attracted the interest of Cornish settlers. The mines were of poor quality — especially compared to the richness of the nearby Wheal Watkins at Glen Osmond. The Victorian Gold Rush in the mid-1800s attracted many miners and young men from all over Australia and struck the final blow to the Waterfall Gully mines, where operations ceased shortly thereafter.

Some parts of Waterfall Gully were transferred from the District Council of Crafers (now the Adelaide Hills Council) to the City of Burnside in 1876, when the suburb's current boundaries were established. In the early 20th century the area was known mainly for its agricultural uses, but by the middle of the century homes had begun to dot the gully. Waterfall Gully was severely hit by a number of bushfires in 1939 that threatened the area. Further bushfires in the early 1940s caused considerable damage because of the war effort diverting supplies and personnel from the Country Fire Service.^[3] Adelaide Hills Council was established in 1997 by the amalgamation of four smaller district councils (East Torrens, Gumeracha, Onkaparinga and Stirling). ...

Waterfall Gully Road after the November 2005 Floods

In 1945, much of the area that is today's Cleland Conservation Park, a large conservation reserve, was purchased by the State Government, in large part because of the lobbying efforts of Professor Sir John Cleland.^[4] Most of this land, including the gully areas, was combined in 1963 to create the park that extends eastwards up the gully to the summit of Mount Lofty and northwards to Greenhill Road.

On the night of November 7, 2005 several areas in Adelaide experienced severe flooding. Waterfall Gully was one of the hardest hit suburbs: Bob Stevenson, Duty Officer of the SES, commented that "There's an area called Waterfall Gully Road, in the foothills, where one of the creeks comes down, and there's quite a few houses affected there ... there was 40 or so houses affected on that one road alone".^[5] Properties were flooded, two bridges nearly collapsed, and 100 metres of road was washed away. Burnside council workers, the CFS and the SES repaired the initial damage on the night while reconstruction of infrastructure commenced in late November. Much of the road had been inaccessible, and the suburb was closed except to residents and emergency workers for the remainder of the month. ^[6] November 7 is the 311th day of the year (312th in leap years) in the Gregorian Calendar, with 54 days remaining. ... 2005 (MMV) is a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Geography

Location of Waterfall Gully Road in the Adelaide Metropolitan Area.

Waterfall Gully is situated at an average elevation of 234 metres above sea level, in an area of 6.08 km². Its most notable geographical features are its gully and waterfall. Three hundred metres from the start of Waterfall Gully Road is Langman Reserve, a large local park that was converted from a quarry in the late 1960s and is dedicated to the former mayor of the City of Burnside, W. Langman.^[7] Much of the north-eastern side of the gully is part of Cleland Conservation Park and many walking trails lead off into the park. Most of land on the south-western side is owned by the Burnside Council. Various fire and walking trails also run through it. Image File history File links Waterfall-Gully-Road. ...

Since European Settlement the native plant life has been considerably affected, with the native Manna Gum and Blue Gum woodlands being largely cleared for agricultural uses.^[8] The large amount of non-native vegetation in the gully is predominately the result of the relatively sudden end of agriculture. Olive groves and other introduced species were left to grow without being hindered by the activity of farm animals which had kept the hills relatively bare. The Burnside Council has undertaken programs to re-establish and protect native vegetation but little progress has been made in removing invasive non-native species such as olive trees, bamboo and blackberry bushes. Despite the introduction of European plant species, the native wildlife has not been visibly affected. A large number of unique Australian animals such as kangaroos, koalas and possums can be spotted on some of the walking trails.^[9] Manna Gum (Eucalyptus viminalis) is a straight, erect tree to 50 m, with rough bark on the trunk and base of larger branches. ...

Attractions

First Falls and surroundings

The main attraction of Waterfall Gully is the waterfall, First Falls. It is at the south-eastern end of the road, in land owned by Cleland Conservation Park. The weir at the bottom of the Waterfall was constructed in the late 1800s and was part of Adelaide's early water supply. Development in the area has continued since the construction of a restaurant in 1912. Recent developments began in 1995 and were completed in 2005.

Other fire tracks and walking trails wind around the hills that surround Waterfall Gully, branching off from Chambers Gully, Woolshed Gully or the area around First Creek. Destinations include Crafers, Eagle on the Hill, Mount Lofty, Mount Osmond and the Cleland Wildlife Park, located in the Cleland Conservation Park. The tracks have been completely rebuilt and resurfaced in the past ten years, and a number of older and more perilous routes have been sealed because of the difficult terrain. Many offer views of the city of Adelaide, as well as the Gully itself. One of these is notable for connecting to the 1200-kilometre-long Heysen Trail, and the trails are highly frequented.
