The first exploratory expedition in South Australia
took place in 1837. It finished in an area the Aborigines referred to as ‘The
Place of Green Trees'. The township of Willunga was established on this site two
years later. Shortly afterwards, high-quality slate was discovered there and a
slate-mining industry quickly sprang up. The legacy of this is still evident
today in some of Willunga's roofs, footpaths, water tanks and bridges.
