Two men on a hillside, Belalie Creek near Jamestown
Description

Belalie Creek, near Jamestown", taken March 1916 (G Brooks)

Situated on the banks of the Belalie Creek, Jamestown is named after Sir James Ferguson; the Governor of South Australia during the time the town was surveyed in 1871. Originally inhabited by the Ngadjuri people, the area was first explored by Edward John Eyre in 1839 and soon became populated by European pastoralists who ran sheep on large stations. With growth in agricultural activities and the development of the Bundaleer Forest, prospects for adventurous settlers were promising, resulting a rapid expansion in the population. More than 100 stonemasons were employed to meet the demands of the rapidly growing town, many of these building still stand in the streets of Jamestown today, including the heritage listed Eudunda Farmers Store, Jamestown Post Office and the National Australia Bank, built in 1885.
