Summary

Panoramic view of the township of Blinman in 1901. Blinman is located deep in the Flinders Ranges. Shepherd, Robert Blinman found copper ore, thus the Wheal Blinman was established. By 1862 five shafts had been sunk. Lack of water and fodder for the bullocks were a stumbling block. Water and firewood had to be transported from afar. Mining continued until 1918 when the ore ran out. The photograph, taken from the hillside shows the main street and a couple of two storey buildings amid other homes and small holdings.
