Summary

Poonindie Mission was established by the Church of England in 1850 and was located near Port Lincoln. It was originally a training institution for young Aboriginal people from various localities. When the lease was surrended in 1894 most of the residents moved to Point Pearce and Point McLeay Mission Stations. The photograph shows a township consisting of St Matthew's Church, buildings and several cottages surrounded by a railing fence.
