| DESCRIPTION |
| Details (Known As) |
Former Faulding's Eucalyptus Oil Distillery |
| Registered Name |
Eucalyptus Store - Fauldings |
| Significance |
This building was used for many years as the eucalyptus oil distillery for the pharmaceutical company of FH Faulding & Co. (now known as Fauldings), who pioneered several new technologies in the development and manufacture of drugs and other pharmaceutical products. The production of eucalyptus oil was at one stage a large part of Faulding's manufacturing process, forming the raw material for many of its products. The distilling of eucalyptus on a large scale was not common in South Australia.
It is possible that part of the building was originally associated with Bean's tannery, one of the several such enterprises located on the banks of the River Torrens in the earlier years of settlement of the area. The building thus represents two industries important to both Thebarton and the State. Several alterations and additions have reduced the building's integrity. The random coursed stonework of the building is not of great merit. (Thebarton Heritage Survey 1991) |

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.
