Sandergrove Water Reserve |
| Registered Name |
Sandergrove Water Reserve |
| Significance |
Sandergrove Water Reserve is an early surviving example of a water reserve, having important associations with the provision of water in South Australia in the mid nineteenth century. It was part of a network of water reserves used for the watering of livestock travelling overland between the market and port centres of Strathalbyn, Goolwa and beyond. Enabling the unhindered and safe movement of livestock from one place to another, the reserve demonstrates the growth of the colony's pastoral industry and the practice of overlanding or droving prior to the emergence of rail and motor transport. Integral to the site is its timber trough, built for the watering of cattle and made from the halved and hollowed-out trunk of a native river red gum tree (Eucalyptus camaldulensis), and the stone-lined well. |
