Dwelling, former Offices (Mount Burr Forest Reserve), Shed/Stable & Avenue of Pinus radiata |
| Registered Name |
Dwelling, former offices, shed/stable and avenue of pinus radiata - Mount Burr Forest Reserve |
| Significance |
The identified buildings and avenue of trees at the Mount Burr Forest Reserve are a significant part of the early history of plantation forestry in South Australia which has developed into a major softwood industry for the State. The use of stone construction rather than the more common use of timber in forest facilities is of interest. In the South East future forests were being planted but milling did not begin in the Mount Burr area until the first crop matured in the late 1920s, hence the use of materials to hand and construction in local stone. The significance of the buildings is in their representation of the confidence in the South Australian timber industry in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. |
