Daniel Easton and Caroline Maybank arrived in South Australia on May 12, 1840, aboard the "Eliza," settling near Morphett Vale. Among Easton's many contributions as a mason and bricklayer, “Easton's Barn” stands out as a remarkable feat of early construction.

Spanning 12 by 6 meters with an unsupported curved, riveted galvanized iron roof, the barn is still standing on Woodcroft Drive.

Emu Wines began in the 1840s when Patrick Auld established vineyards at Magill, later moving to Morphett Vale where he added a distillery. Emu became famous for its ports and sherries, exporting globally. Hardys later acquired the brand, continuing its legacy. The Southern Districts Workingmen’s Club now occupies the original site. #MorphettVale #SAHistory #WineHistory #hardys #Reynella
