| DESCRIPTION |
| Details (Known As) |
Manure Pits, Brownhill Creek Recreation Park |
| Registered Name |
Manure Pits |
| Significance |
These manure pits are all that remain of a large complex of pits built by the Mitcham Council to prevent pollution of Brownhill Creek by the activities of local market gardeners storing manure on the banks of the creek. As such these pits are associated with early market gardening activities in South Australia and the development of agricultural and horticultural 'technologies'. They also represent the importance of the creeks running from the Adelaide Hills as local water sources and early attempts at pollution management. |
