Summary

Charkleton granite rocks at Minnipa. The granite rocks at Minnipa were named "Tcharkulda". It is likely the author of the image gave the rocks this name as the correct name sounds like "Charkleton". That site was a water consevation reserve, drains were built around that granite outcrop which directed water runoff to a dam close by. This water was reticulated to the township of Minnipa some 2-3 miles distant. In 1927 an 18 inch pipeline was constructed to supply water to Minnipa and eventually extend to Ceduna from the Tod River reservior near Port Lincoln. The Tcharkulda project became redundant.
