Summary

"Warrakilla" near Mylor, the owner, George Woodroffe Goyder (right) is seen in the garden. Goyder's rainfall line was first used for the reassessment of leases and the relief of stricken pastoralists. His line separated the land fit for agriculture and that fit for grazing. Goyder died at his home on November 2, 1898 leaving an estate of 4,000 pounds. Warrakilla was built as the Wheatsheaf Hotel in 1842 and later purchased by Goyder in 1879. His deam home was completed in 1883. It later became South Australia's first tobacco plantation
