Andrew Harriott and his family migrated from Glasgow to South Australia in 1838. By 1850, they had settled at Dalkeith Farm in Noarlunga, a 400+ acre estate in present day Moana. For years rumours circulated that Harriott was involved in smuggling along the coast, with tales of a light in an upstairs window used to signal ships, possibly linked to the wreck of the Nashwauk. But as with many good stories, there’s no solid evidence! #southaustralia #localhistory #heritage #noarlunga

In 1840, the cost for purchasing land parcels in the newly established “Noorlunga” township was set at four shillings per foot.

Initially there was minimal activity observed at the horseshoe bend on the river. The choice of location was made was to utilise the river for transportation and connecting it to a future port. (Port Noarlunga)
