History – Old Highercombe Hotel Folk Museum
The work of the pioneers of the Tea Tree Gully region is commemorated
in the Old Highercombe Hotel Folk Museum. Opening in 1854 as the Highercombe
Hotel, it served as a focal point for the local community, including
for public meetings, dances and the like. From 1875, it was used as
the Tea Tree Gully Post Office, a function which continued through until
1963. It was taken over in 1967 by the National Trust.
For Take Time, the President of the Tea Tree Gully and District Historical Society, and member of the Tea Tree Gully Branch of the National Trust, Carole Simmonds takes us through the museum and talks about the fascinating history of this remarkable building.

Lochend House
Do you know who is called the father of the City of Campbelltown, in
Adelaide's north eastern suburbs? Not surprisingly, his surname was
Campbell – Charles Fox Campbell. In 1844, Charles Campbell built
Lochend, by the River Torrens, and lived there for just eight years.
As this is History Week throughout South Australia, we visit Lochend
and find out about the restoration of this heritage building, with Mike
Boyle, Campbelltown City Councillor and the person most involved with
the restoration of Lochend House.
