The Victoria Hotel, Tapley's Hill

The Victoria Hotel at the top of Tapley's Hill has stood on the main road south from Adelaide for over a century — from Thomas Tapley's first licence in 1844 through sixteen publicans, a major earthquake, a cycling trophy, and a long life as the social centre of the district.

Thomas Tapley of Tapley's Hill

The hill on the road south from Adelaide carries the name of Thomas Tapley, a Kentish man who arrived in 1838 and planted his family on its summit — founding the hotel and farm that would outlast him by a century.

Victoria School, Morphett Vale

Named after a Scottish fishing village where Queen Victoria had passed on her first visit to Scotland, the Victoria School stood near Christie Creek for a quarter century — as much a community hall for Morphett Vale's social life as a classroom.
