Summary

FINNISS: Sheep grazing on 'Watulunga', a farming property situated on a rise above the Finniss river overlooking a lagoon. The owners were Alexander and Annie Gordon from 1896-1910. Alexander bought the first Shropshire sheep to be imported to South Australia. The flock was later sold to the Maidment family on Hindmarsh Island. Another researcher has added that the first Shropshire Sheep were imported into Australia by Charles Price of Hindmarsh Island, ca.1855.
