Summary

Eudunda township. The township was established in 1870 after the early settlers began moving into the area. Overlanding followed by pastoralism were the main uses of the land. The nearby fresh water springs provided a watering stop for stock brought overland from New South Wales. The founder of Eudunda was John Henry Hannan who owned the land that was surveyed and divided for sale. The photograph shows the store owned by AWF Klaebe opposite the Eudunda Hotel on the corner of South Street. The Klaebe store initially operated as the Hambour's Drapery which serviced all the needs of passing stockmen. The hotel was established in 1882 and at the time of this photograph the proprietor was Ernest Albert Mann. A researcher has provided the following information: "The Eudunda Hotel, or 'Top Pub' as it is known locally, was actually constructed in 1873 and run by John Hannan, who was the owner of the land on which it sits. Before the hotel building was constructed, the area was the site of a wine store which was opened in the late 1860s by Henry Watson, to serve to passing stockmen. A.W.F. Klaebe's Store did not originally serve as Hambour's Drapery - that business was located further down the street and opened a few decades later."
