Gunn Street, Eudunda

Street scene in Eudunda. The founder of Eudunda was John Henry Hannan who owned the land that was surveyed and divided for sale. Pastoralism was the first European activity in the area. This photograph shows the Edwardian streetscape of the town in the 1880s. The Nadjuri Aboriginal people named the area Eudundacowi meaning "water out of the ground". A researcher has provided the following information: "The photo in question is of Gunn Street, Eudunda, looking in a south-easterly direction. The second building from the right is the former National Bank of Australasia Limited, which was constructed in 1880. The building third from the right was the first Courthouse and Police Station in Eudunda. It was completed in October 1883. The building at the end was the first Post Office constructed in Eudunda. It was completed in 1879 at a cost of £888. It also served as the telegraph exchange and later, in 1911, it was connected to telephone lines. Every building on this street survives to the present day."
