A lesser-known site of interest within Flinders Ranges National Park is the Appealinna ruins.
In the 1850s, a modest English pastoralist by the name of Joseph Wills took up unwanted land on the southern side of the creek and started building stockyards as well as a homestead. However, soon after establishing his run, copper miners arrived and decided to settle across the creek on the northern side. With water being just as important to both of them as it is to us today, a 13-year argument over lease boundaries and access to the Appealinna Water spring in the creek began. Lines on maps were interpreted differently by the various parties, hence exasperating this war of words. And, when all else failed, Wills took matters into his own tough hands
Today, the ruins of both Wills' southern pastoral run and the miners' northern settlement can be visited by the general public. Interpretive signs have been erected around Appealinna for your reading pleasure, as well as a carpark and picnic table.
