Sir Thomas Playford, 33rd Premier of South Australia grew up at Norton Summit. He was Premier from 1938 to 1965 and became the longest serving Premier in all Australian states.

He attracted migrant workers and tripled South Australia's population in thirty years. He promoted the state and his gravestone states "A man who did good things".
Sir Thomas Playford
Sir Thomas Playford, Premier of South Australia looking at a map. Information received from a researcher advises that 'it is a map showing the positions of oil exploration sites in Australia and it was located in his office. Once a month, I handlettered labels in white ink on dark blue board, cut them up with a sharp knife (before scalpels became available) and updated the maps in the offices of the Premier, The Minister and the Director. When gas and oil were discovered many years later, I was sworn to secrecy for six months while I worked on publications and displays that had to be ready for the public release of the discoveries. Unlike most of the other states, in SA everything was discovered by the State Government exploration team and then leased to private enterprise'.
