Former Point Pearce Aboriginal Mission |
Registered Name |
Point Pearce Mission - Former |
Significance |
The Point Pearce Aboriginal Reserve is important because it forms an integral part of a system of missions established by Church, Government and private organizations during the displacement of Aborigines from their tribal lands. Established in 1867, it provided a type of refuge for members of the Narrunga tribe affected by the pastoralism, mining and farming activities on Yorke Peninsula. Remnants of other tribes also lived at the Mission, which sought to instruct members in European customs, livelihood and religion (Yorke Peninsula Heritage Survey, 1997). |

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.
