Summary

Main Street, Wirrabara showing among others the FD Mannings Furniture House. Next door stands the premises of McKavanagh. Wirrabarra, named after the Aboriginal word for gum forest with running water, is located in the Mid North of South Australia. It was established in the 1850's and boasts pastoral leases for Merino sheep, copper mine and the first government forest. 20,000 seeds of walnut, chestnut, ash, oak, sycamores, pines, willows and bamboo were planted. Wirrabarra was surveyed in 1874 and later the railway from Laura to Wilmington passed through.
