Lands for their visit. Mr L Judell moved - "That it having
proved practicable, and being likewise most
advantageous to the State generally, the residents of
Orroroo and surrounding hundreds strongly urge the
Hon. the Commissioner of Public Works to have the
proposed Pekina Creek irrigation scheme carried out
without further undue delay." In this district they were
especially susceptible to droughts, and as one of the
main platforms at the last elections was water
conservation and irrigation, and the Premier had done
good work in connection with the waters of the Murray,
they anticipated that a sympathetic attitude would be
shown towards the Pekina Creek project by the present
Government. It had been advocated for about 16 years.
In 1897 the Engineer-in-Chief reported on the proposal
The catchment area was given as 52 square miles, or
33,280 acres, in the hundreds of Walloway, Coomooroo,
Pekina and Black Rock, being the watershed of the
Pekina Creek, with its large tributary, the Wepowie
Creek. The rainfall as gauged at Orroroo, was, maximum
25 inches (18,221,000,000 gallons), minimum 7 and a
quarter inches (5,458,000,000 gallons), and mean
average 11,293,000,000. The headworks best suited to
the locality were a weir in the main channel of the
Pekina Creek, near section 31, hundred of Walloway,
about a mile south-west of the town. The foundations
would be in hard solid rock throughout. The length of
the weir would be 380 feet., and its height 68 feet. The
impounded water would amount to about 200,000,000
gallons, and the total cost was estimated at about
£50,000. The charge for the water would be about £3
per acre on the 920 acres proposed to be irrigated with
12 inches of water, in order to give 5 per cent interest
on the cost and working expenses. This was a very high
charge, as compared with Renmark, and worked out at
about 2 and three quarter pence per 1,000 gallons.
However, a later estimate had brought the likely cost
down to £38,000, The Hon AR Addison seconded the
motion and said that it seemed that in this scheme
nature was only waiting to be assisted by man's
ingenuity so as to turn the water provided to some good
account. Messrs Samuel Carter, AP Yates, and J Travers
supported the motion, which was carried almost
unanimously. In reply, Mr Price said he would place
before them an outline of estimates and reports on the
scheme, prepared by Mr JW Jones, one of the best
authorities on water conservation in South Australia: “January 21, 1897. - Engineer-in-Chief's reports on
reticulation of township, and small storage, estimated
cost, £3,400.
The Advertiser, Monday 12 February 1906
WATER CONSERVATION AT ORROROO
PEKINA CREEK SCHEME
MINISTERIAL VISIT
The long-standing question as to what kind of reservoir
would best conserve the floodwaters which periodically
come down the Pekina Creek was revived and
enthusiastically discussed at Orroroo on Friday when
the Premier (Hon T Price) and the Commissioner of
Crown Lands (Hon L O'Loughlin) visited the district.
Though in some parts around Orroroo good yields have
been reaped, the district is on the whole a dry one, and
there are within limited area a number of the poorest
farms in the State. It is essential, if the local population
is to be retained; that irrigation on a large scale should
resorted to. The Ministers were met at the town by the
chairman of the district council (Mr J Jamieson), the
president of the vigilance committee (Mr L Judell), the
Hon AR Addison, and Mr W Miller, MP, besides a
number of residents. The party drove out to the Pekina
Creek, and followed its course from Northcott Bros
garden to the proposed site of the dam. They saw the
creek at about the most unfavorable time, for Mr EB
Northcott, who resides on its bank, stated that it had
not been so dry for the past 30 years. In some parts the
stream was not running in the bed, but underground.
For the creek to be dry has been quite an unknown,
occurrence until now. This is no serious matter however,
as it is not the ordinary creek water that would be
depended upon for filling the reservoir, but the rain
water which comes down in flood times, and it asserted
that a year has never been experienced when the dam
could not have been filled several times. At Northcott’s
garden the party saw splendid tomatoes, watermelons,
and fruit trees growing on the banks of the creek. This
illustrated what could be done by irrigation.
The suggested site for the weir was afterwards viewed,
and it was agreed that a better one could scarcely be
desired. The natural bywash was looked upon as a great
advantage, both from utilitarian and monetary aspects.
The present source of the town's water supply was seen
- a few small springs, but it is surprising what a quantity
of the precious fluid is run through the 3-inch main to
Orroroo, and how beneficial the supply has been. The
irrigation which has been carried on in a small way in
the gardens in the town speaks volumes for what could
be done if a larger water system were established.
A Public Meeting
August 26, 1897: Irrigation scheme, 200.000.000 gallon
reservoir, estimated cost. £56,000; reticulation of
Orroroo from springs, estimated cost, £4,000.
In the Institute Hall in the evening public meeting of
residents took place to discuss the question. There was
a large audience, over which the chairman of the council
(Mr. Jamieson) presided, and he tendered the thanks of
the meeting to the Premier and Commissioner of Crown

ORROROO. October 3.
In January of this year the Hydraulic Engineer also
obtained particulars as to the advisableness of
constructing a dam on the Pekina Creek, with Monier
concrete, but the holders of the patent did not advise
it, and offered to provide sketch plans and an estimate
of the cost of a Monier core backed with rubble. He
had agreed to purchase that for £25. He thought a
suitable dam might be built for £21,000, and if the
townspeople could provide the interest on that sum
they could have the scheme adopted. The Government
would carry out the work if the engineers would
reduce their estimate (Cheers). In these days they
needed utility without heavy expense. They had
reasonable hope of the reservoir being constructed if
Fifty members of the Orroroo Football Club took part in

countless dashes out of defence. Stopp and Lee were

and acknowledge the wonderful new courtyard area for Residents visitors and staff to enjoy.
The area approx 86m2 has been completed in large cream pavers and links Residents rooms with the dining
room area. It will be further enhanced by large potted plants and wrought iron tables and chairs.
The project was enthusiastically facilitated by Nardine O’Dea, Treasurer of the Lions Club and Direct Care
worker, which gave her special insights into the needs of the Residents.
Barbara Nutt, Residential Care Manager, spoke of the improvement this project has made to the facility and to
the day to day lives of the Residents. A card of thanks was presented to the Lions Club and to Simon Rowe and
Chet Cox who have both donated time and expertise in laying the pavers. Many visitors to this site remark on
the lovely atmosphere, this is no coincidence, the staff and community really care, and it is evident.
Previously the area was an uneven lawn which was unsafe for wheeled walking devices and wheelchairs and
therefore not used.
Now this is a safe and beautiful area where people love to sit and enjoy.
Robyn Byerlee was also present as President of The Aged Care Fundraising Committee (ACFC).
Robyn has overseen the funding of many other improvements at the Community Home.
As part of the Lions Paving Project the ACFC have funded the purchase of tables and chairs and also pots and
plants. The Committee are also in the final phase of funding the replacement of all curtains and blinds within the
Home, which has been a huge undertaking and we are sincerely grateful to them.
We would like to make special mention of the Orroroo Quilters and Garden Club, Orroroo Cropping Committee
and Students from OAS for their ongoing support.
Thankyou from all the residents and Staff at the Orroroo Community Home

Thanks from the Orroroo Area School 2016 Bakehouse crew!
The Bakehouse has finished for 2106 and we feel very happy to have offered freshly baked lunches
to the whole school. You will see here the fabulous range of goodies, with something for everyone
on offer. It was the first time that the younger students have been invited and we will definitely be
doing that again! While the Bakehouse is a SACE enterprise, the Year 10’s have been an invaluable support to the older
students and at the same time perfecting their baking skills ready for greater responsibilities next year.
Special mention to Flinders Ranges Premium Grain who have supplied top quality local flour for the Bakehouse since its
beginnings at Peterborough High School in 2007.
So thanks to everyone for your enthusiastic support and encouragement so we can gain experience in another branch of the
Food and Hospitality industry.

TAFE Bakery Course at Orroroo Area School
We have been very grateful to secure the expertise of Ashley Schmidt (Lecturer and trainer in Bakery Studies from
the Regency TAFE training facility) for industry standard instruction. He has just completed the second 3-day
workshop with 10 of our school and community members. Participants were instructed in several styles of yeast
based doughs in the March session and this time it was all about various forms of pastry. It was very easy to feel
the enthusiasm in the kitchen and everyone enjoyed using the range of equipment in the facility. The wide array of
products were outstanding in quality and presentation. Ashley summed up his experiences with the following
comments.
“I am very thankful to the school for allowing me to utilise their great Home Ec facility, and to Gaye for helping coordinate the logistics and organisation of the workshops. It is rewarding to pass on Bakery knowledge and skills to
such a passionate group of people. Hopefully the skills I have taught the group over 2 Workshops (bread &
pastries), can be used to benefit the local community. I am very passionate about the Baking industry, and it is
rewarding for me to be welcomed into the small community of Orroroo, to pass on my skills and knowledge, and
feel like I’ve made a difference in people’s lives.”
There is no doubt Ashley has made a big impact on these lucky individuals. Suffice to say this won’t be the last you
hear and see of this new knowledge and it will be a case of “watch this space”!

THE PROBUS CLUB OF ORROROO & DISTRICTS
 Domestic and Industrial
37 members attended our May meeting to listen to our guest
speaker John Mannion of Pekina. John gave us an outline of his life
® career. He began his electrical apprenticeship at the ETSA
apprenticeship building in Port Augusta. After a year he moved to Playford ‘A’
power station where he completed his apprenticeship and worked for the next
11 years. John worked at Leigh Creek, and spent a number of years in the north
of SA and the Northern Territory. John has a great interest in heritage and its
history. He commented that interviewing people, including aboriginal elders,
migrants, and older people gave him the most satisfaction. His interest in the
local area is evident as he photographed and wrote stories about almost all of
the older buildings in the District Council Orroroo Carrieton area. His interest in
Railway history is significant, and the ride down hill from Eurelia to Orroroo in
the little rail car was very exciting. Together with his historical interests and his
sheep, John lives a very full life.

The vote of thanks was proposed by Yvonne O’Dea, and the loud applause
indicated clearly that his address was very well received.

Recycling Polystyrene Foam
Please be aware that Polystyrene Foam is no longer accepted in the
Recycling Centre or in household recycling bins. Some examples of
Polystyrene are foam cups, foam take away containers and
foam packaging.
Polystyrene Foam cannot be accepted because there are strict guidelines
to how it needs to be prepared before it can be recycled and used for
anything. Council and the waste pick up providers are unable to
undertake this process.
All polystyrene foam MUST be put in the household red lid waste bin.
If you are using the Recycling Centre located on Fifth Street, you MUST
crush the boxes that you put in the recycling cages. Currently Council staff
have to remove all boxes, crush them and put them back in the cages
before the recycling can be taken away. This is an unnecessary strain on
Council resources that you can prevent.

Events
* Nikea Coulson (Carrieton Rodeo Club’s Miss Rodeo Cowgirl representative) was in attendance at the Carrieton
Hotel on Tuesday 24th May for a meet and greet evening. Nikea had a busy day in the area doing some PR work. The
Carrieton Rodeo Club presented Nikea with a monetary donation towards her fundraising efforts for Variety - the
children’s charity, which hopefully will give Nikea a wildcard entry into the Miss World Australia event as a ‘charity’
entrant. All the best Nikea!
* A CPA meeting will be held at 7.30pm on Monday 6th June at the Carrieton Clubrooms. ALL WELCOME!
* Hammond Trash and Treasure Sunday 12th June. Don’t Forget!
* Polystyrene foam is no longer able to be accepted at recycling centre in Orroroo or in household recycling wheelie
bins.eg foam cups, takeaway containers or packaging. All foam MUST go into your red lid wheelie bins.
*If you wish to have something mentioned here please let Kate know before the 4th Thursday of the month.
The 28th of May was designated as a National Day of Thanks, when churches and individuals were given the
opportunity to give a special thanks to people who help to make their community a better place to live by the
services they provide. This can be done in many ways, from a simple thank you to a small gift, or a community run
BBQ. As a Church over recent years we have focused on giving a small plate of homemade biscuits to the group or
employer business suggested for the year. This year the focus is on people who work in Health and Aged Care in our
community. The ladies were busy cooking up a variety of biscuits and with over 500 to work with, they were put
into small individual bags or made into a large platter to be handed out to the appropriate people. Over the years
we have found these gifts to be well received with many surprised that their service had been thought of and
appreciated.
Sadly, it seems much easier to complain about the things not done than to appreciate the positive things that
happen around us. We are told in God’s word to give thanks in all circumstances. Sometimes this can be a
challenging thing to try and do, but many have been surprised how things turned out when they were prepared to
do this. So I would like to issue you with a challenge. Pick a day and say “Today I am going to tell at least two people
that I appreciate them and what they do for our community.” I am sure you will be surprised with the response that
you may get. A word of warning, you may find that it could become a bit addictive.
God bless, John Cozens
