Summary

Poonindie Mission Church of St Matthews (with Mr J.D.Bruce in trap in foreground) In 1850 Archdeacon Mathew Hale established a Christian training institution for Aboriginal people adjacent to the Tod River at Poonindie. The community produced very good shearers, ploughmen and stockmen who were sought after by local settlers. The Mission closed in 1889/90 and the Poonindie people were relocated to Point Pearch and Point McLeay.
