Historical information

According to a researcher, the Crystal Palace was dismantled by the late Rex Tilbrook during the early 1960s and then rebuilt next to the original Whaler's Inn at the Bluff. It was originally set up there as a Whaling Museum, but later reverted to holiday accommodation. Yeltanna was built from granite waste from West Island, created during the cutting of that granite for the the South Australian Parliament House building. The large granite paving slabs that line Adelaide streets in the main business area are also sourced from this granite. The granite no longer graces the historic Yilki community as the Yeltanna shoreline was developed during the 1990s.
