25.01.2022 150 Years Ago Today The Opening of the Northern Extension Railway to Burra 29 August 1870 In 1870 the line to Burra was the longest line north of Adelaide, the...re was cause for a great celebration. The Friends of the Burra Railway Station planned a big event to mark the occasion but Covid 19 intervened. The celebration is now planned for 2021 instead The Northern Argus 2 September 1870 The opening of the Burra railway on Monday [29 August 1870] passed of with great éclat. [brilliant display of effort]. The township put on its gala attire on the occasion, being plentifully decorated with evergreens, and the inhabitants of the surrounding townships turned out en masse. The crowd which collected at the station to greet the arrival of the special train with His Excellency and party must have numbered about 3,000 persons. The luncheon at the Goods Shed was a grand affair. About 300 ladies and gentlemen sat down to the spread. Effective speeches were afterwards delivered by His Excellency the Governor, Sir G.S. Kingston, Hons. J.B. Neales, J. H. Barrow, A Blyth, and other gentlemen. Altogether the event was one which will hold a lasing place in the memories of the Burra people. The scene in Burra on that day from the South Australian Register 30 August 1870 Verandah fronts were well nigh hidden under pine branches, and the housetops yielded a handsome crop of flags, many of them palpably new rigged for the occasion. In Market Square stood a triple arch, inspiringly decked with foliage, and breathing through half a dozen different transparencies words of welcome to the Governor and loyalty to the Queen and country. Across the main road in Aberdeen a second erection of similar character stood; while opposite his new Railway store, Mr Tiver had hung out a line of streamers to dry. In Ludgovan-street [sic] Redruth, Mr Davey, of the Court-House Hotel, had at his own expense built a really tasteful arch handsomely festooned with evergreens, and adorned with banners and mottoes. It was intended as a rival to the Aberdeen Arch, and in point of looks was decidedly its superior, although its dimensions were smaller. But to return to the terminus. Not only were all the platforms and available standing ground near the station adorned with pine and wattle boughs, but the various buildings were set off with a bewildering display of evergreens, which might have been Birnam Wood come back to Dunsenane, [sic] as in the days of Macbeth. The Goods Shed had clothed itself in evergreen till it looked a monster bower size 100 feet by 40 feet, and the Carriage Shed had blossomed into festive vegetation on a smaller scale. Its decoration had absorbed half a dozen good truckloads of material sent up from Wasley’s [sic] Station, while the Goods Shed, besides receiving its contingent from this distant forest of small trees, had occasioned havoc among the trees for 15 miles round. Fair hands had not been excluded from the pleasant task of preparing a welcome for the visitors extraordinary. Flags and streamers testified to their industry and all the colours of the rainbow vouched for the catholicity of the local taste. Inside and outside adornments were to be found, all resolving themselves into an effort to produce the most tasteful effect with the materials at command.

02.01.2022 What a chilly and frosty morning in Burra today. We couldn't help photographing these ducks who bravely took to the very cold water of Burra creek instead of a warm nest on the banks. #visit #see #burra #accommodation #bedandbreakfast #burracreek #cold #morning #holiday #cottage #experience #south #australia
