| DESCRIPTION |
| Details (Known As) |
Ring of Oaks associated with Salem Baptist Church |
| Registered Name |
Natural Feature - Ring of Oaks |
| Significance |
This circle of oak trees was planted around a natural spring and pool which was developed as a baptismal font associated with the Salem Baptist Church. The date of planting is unclear, although the trees are likely to post-date the construction of the nearby Salem Baptist Church (registered place 14702) in 1846. The Salem Baptist Church was one of the first Baptist Churches built in South Australia and is currently the oldest Baptist Church in the State, continuously used for such a purpose (154 years). It is also one of the earliest buildings constructed in the Gumeracha area. (HSA, 1/2000) |
