Milang
Milang is situated on Lake
Alexandrina, not that far from the
mouth of the River Murray. Once a
riverboat trading town, it is now
supported by surrounding farms and
visiting tourists.
Strathalbyn, settled in 1839, 3 years
after the state of South Australia was
formed. Many of the original
buildings are still being used. Over
recent years the town has begun to
expand rapidly. The images offered
on this page have been made partly
to record the town as it was before
the current rampant development.

The images of the Clayton farm
museum were made during a visit to
the Bordertown area in July 2010
whilst attending a Working Sheepdog
Trial on the town oval
Overview
The images in this sub-gallery feature structures (mainly
buildings) that have in the main, stood for many years,
and in my opinion, have earned their place in our
landscape, and deserve to be retained.
Too much of Australia’s history is being lost at the hands
of insensitive developers who are hell bent on ripping
down anything that gets in the way of their profit driven
enterprises.
Not only are developers destroying our built heritage,
but are frequently covering our best agricultural land
with bricks and concrete.
