25.01.2022 Yesterday we continued to landscape the grounds around the around the hall. We have installed a wattle and wire fence to replicate one evident in old photos of the hall. It is intended to tie in all the new infrastructure to the hall. We also gave the hall a mighty good clean as it was sorely needed after all the work that has happened there after the cellar renovations. #historicbeltana #beltana #townhall #landscaping #heritage #flindersranges #flindershistorictown #northernflindersranges #outbackSA #oneoutback Outback Communities Authority #droughtcommunitiesfunding

23.01.2022 Our 140 year old cellar is looking amazing, thanks to the Outback Communities Authority through Drought Community Funding we have been able to clear out the remaining dust, put down a boardwalk to make it safe for public access and repair the one wall that had a bow in it. . We look forward to opening it up next year and giving our volunteers a rest! . .... #historicbeltana #historic #beltana #flindershistorictown #flindersranges #northernflindersranges #heritage #heritagesa #seesouthaustralia #townhall #cellar #restoration #stonemasonry #carpentry See more

23.01.2022 The Outback Communities Authority could not be more right about the importance of #volunteers to active outback communities. #Beltana is lucky to have a strong and active volunteer base without which our successful projects would be impossible. . . #oneoutback #outbackSA #historicbeltana #beltana #flindershistorictown #flindersranges #oca

23.01.2022 #Beltana started it's life as a thriving service centre, and nothing shows how vibrant a town was in the early days than a busy #blacksmith! While Doig's smithy is no longer present, the stone building to the side transformed from his showroom to the community #Church and Sunday School and is still used for occasional services and special events to this day. . . . #history #historic #historicbeltana #flindershistorictown #heritagetown #heritage #historicphoto #flindersranges #northernflindersranges #Outback #outbacklife #outbackSA #seesouthaustralia #southaustralia #PIM #presbyterianinlandmission #australianhistory

22.01.2022 The Festival of Small Halls event is all ready to go and dinner will be served at 5 and doors open at 6:30 as planned. Hope to see you here!

20.01.2022 Following on from last week's photo of the #Ghan #train at the #Beltana #station, here is a long view of the buildings. They are wonderful example of the quality building works that were typical of the service structures in inland South Australia. #heritage #heritagetown #historic #flindershistorictown #historicbeltana #historicphoto #flindersranges #history #northernflindersranges #Outback #outbackSA #seesouthaustralia #southaustralia #theghan #trainstation

18.01.2022 Can not wait for this event! Everything we've heard says that it's going to be amazing and if last year was anything to go by, it will be!

18.01.2022 Just in case you couldn't find the tv show here's the direct link to it in iView. Let us know what you think!

16.01.2022 Have a look at the restoration work that has occurred on the weir this week. The project is now complete and we have checked the fall and 'when' we have rain it will flow into the dam. Beltana Station kindly returned the stones from the weir that were removed in the 1970s to the site to enable the project to go ahead. ... DPTI replaced the culvert which failed a few weeks before the project commenced. We have been supported by SA Water, assisted with technical support from Gary Fuchs, earth moving and Ron Johnson for stone masonry. A trusty band of volunteers mixed mortar and flushed off stones. The water trailer was invaluable to clean up the rocks. A number of people have asked what the bolts are in the stones. We believe they originally supported a fence to keep stock out of the weir and dam. Thanks for your interest in this amazing project.

15.01.2022 Our township Weir restoration is taking shape. Beltana Station very kindly agreed to relocate to the site stones that had been removed from the weir over 40 years ago. Thanks to a grant from SA Water,support from the Beltana Progress Association and local trades expertise from Ron Johnson and Gary Fuchs, volunteer support from Dylan Ferguson and logistical support from Chris Ferguson we have all been quietly celebrating this major milestone. Stay tuned for the photos of the ...finished product. #historic#heritage#beltana See more

13.01.2022 And here's the roadies bumping in!

12.01.2022 One of the important services provided by Beltana was as a major station for the original Ghan train. Many railway workers lived in the town, especially during the years when they were extending the track further north and when the line was re-routed it changed the nature of the town significantly. . . #historic #historicbeltana #flindershistorictown #historicphoto #heritage #heritagetown #history #flindersranges #Outback #outbackSA #trains #steamtrain #Ghan #theghan #southaustralia #seesouthaustralia

11.01.2022 "New Bore" installed thanks to a FRRR Small and Vital drought related grant. We have been able to install a new community bore this week. We have also installed irrigation at the hall to take advantage of the new water supply. Lastly thanks to Drought Communities Program funding we have removed the old ATCO toilets behind the hall to enable landscaping around our new toilets and showers. With a few refinements our facilities will be open for tourists next year. ... Thanks to the community members and contractors who turned out to get these projects done!

06.01.2022 Just because we've had some much welcomed rain recently does not mean that the #northernflindersranges is out of the #drought yet, as evidenced by this view from the #communitypark at the centre of town today... we so need more rain to get those ground covers back... . . . #historicbeltana #beltana #flindershistorictown #flindersranges #outback #outbackSA #outbacklife #pleaserain #duststorm #orangesky #nofilter

03.01.2022 Flash back to last week, and the last show of the Festival of Small Halls for this tour. #festivalofsmallhalls #historicbeltana #Outback #outbackSA #seesouthaustralia #tourismSA #flindersranges #flindershistorictown #townhall #Beltana #beforesocialdistancing

03.01.2022 Here's an interesting opportunity for all those of you who have some amazing photos of Beltana (and other Heritage Areas in SA)! https://www.environment.sa.gov.au///snaps-competition-2020

02.01.2022 Times have been very quiet here in paradise... There really isn't a better place to practice 'social distancing'. It does get you thinking of all those people who lived here back when it wasn't so easy to connect to the rest of the world by digital means though. So, with this in mind we are going to start sharing a collection of historic images of the town and its surrounds. . This first photo is taken from the corner of the school block, across First Street, towards the seco...nd bakery and features a number of buildings and a footbridge! . If you have any photos you think are worthy of adding to the collection, please contact us via DM. . . #historic #historicbeltana #history #heritagetown #heritage #saheritage #Beltana #flindershistorictown #flindersranges #seesouthaustralia #southaustralia #Outback #outbackSA #outbacklife See more
