Summary

The Inn at Currency Creek. Currency Creek was once considered by William Light as the location of the capital of South Australia. Currency Creek is located between the mouth of the Finniss River and Currency Creek. By 1885 Currency Creek had just 13 houses, 130 residents and a few public buildings. A church and school were built and later closed and the town Institute was built in 1913. Goolwa became the more popular town as Currency Creek went into decline. Currency Creek Inn was established in 1842 as a two storey Georgian style building but was only legally licensed from 1858
