Summary

View of Renmark from the river. A settlement began to grow in 1887 when the Renmark Irrigation Settlement was established by George and William Chaffey. Renamrk was proclaimed a town in 1904. The traditional owners were the Naralte Aboriginal people who helped the newcomers to understand their methods of hunting to provide abundant food. The paddle steamer "Marion" is moored at the riverbank. The Wharf Shed stands in the centre of the photograph. A church can be seen on the right of the photograph. The church is possibly St Augustine's Anglican Church on James Avenue
