| Significance |
Dick Clark's Residence is historically significant as a rare and good representative example of the type of early permanent accommodation used by miners working the Andamooka fields, one of the world's major sources of precious opal. The residence epitomises the characteristic style of domestic structures at Andamooka in form, layout, materials and construction techniques. It is one of only a handful of such structures remaining in the township, and is unique in having been preserved in close to its original state by its owner and builder over its entire 60 year history.
The place demonstrates the incorporation of household conveniences into a semi-dugout structure of native pine framing with various infill materials. The juxtaposition of separate structures such as the living room, sleep-outs and workrooms typify what may be termed the Andamooka vernacular, the model for which could well have been the earlier tent accommodation. The native pine structural framework and various infill materials were erected with pride of workmanship and anticipated permanency.
The residence establishes and continues the local mining town character in its construction technique and haphazard layout. The integrity of the item is good, with no major unsympathetic alterations or additions being evident.

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.
