| DESCRIPTION |
| Details (Known As) |
Fry's Clump |
| Registered Name |
Frys Clump |
| Significance |
When land was first taken up in this area, Robert Fry owned Fry's Run. The clump of trees in Section 153 marks the spot, near Balaklava, where Robert Fry, 'stockholder on the Wakefield River' murdered his wife, who was buried in the spot in January 1850.
Fry's body, an apparent suicide, was found 28 June 1850 on an open plain near the River Wakefield. He was buried at Penwortham by relatives.
The group of trees has been left intact ever since (as part of the condition of sale) and Fry's clump is shown on very early Lands Department plans. It is an interesting example of local superstition (the actual burial site was never accurately marked) resulting in a now notable landscape feature. (Lower North Heritage Survey 1981) |

Disclaimer
While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Development Plans, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.
In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
