Blackford Reserve including three cottages |
| Significance |
Blackford Reserve, or Murrabinna, is a place which expresses - and has helped to sustain - a distinctive, post-contact Aboriginal history in South Australia's South-East. The longevity of occupation at Blackford, for up to half a century, until the 1970s, was helped by the construction of several stone and iron cottages, an unusual, if not unique feature of such small Aboriginal reserves. Blackford is fundamentally different from other Aboriginal settlements in South Australia in that it was run entirely by and for its Aboriginal residents. There was never a white missionary, teacher or administrator in residence. In this sense Blackford is quite distinct from other places in its general class.
