The proposed township is situated in a beautiful
valley, well-sheltered from
the prevailing winds,
including both sides of the creek, in which there is
at all seasons abundance of fine water.
The adjoining hills afford extensive views of
Mount B
arker and the country around. As the
climate is salubrious, and the elevation from
the plains considerable, it is a m
ost desirable spot for sum
mer residences, particularly for persons
requiring change of air.The soil is deep, dark loam
,thickly covered with
a rich sward of grass, and the neighbourhood
abounds with good building freestone &
limestone.
From an advertisem
ent in The Register {predecessor of today’s Advertiser) of 23rd N
ovember 1839.
~N
airne was transform
ed in the early 1880s by the railw
ay, Chapmans factory, the tannery, saw
mills,
mining and a sm
elting works.
Bypassed by the freeway, it has retained its stone
village charm.

The Murals
The Nairne Historic M
urals project was started and
coordinated by Liz Hirstle, a local artist who runs a
painting school at the Jonathan Art Centre in Daw
esley.
Liz has been lucky to have the help of a number of
very talented local artists and groups. The Nairne and
District Residents Association and, in particular, Clive Pay, w
ho project managed the initial stages of the
project, raised much of the early funding and built
most of the panels on w
hich the murals are painted.
It would also not have been possible w
ithout the support of M
ayor Ann Ferguson, and many of the staff
of the District Council of Mount Barker.

The school mural w
as created by the Nairne Prim
ary School children w

The two m
urals of the ill-fated church bell were
painted by mem
bers of the ‘Big Week O
ut Festival’ group. Their ages ranged from
14 to 18.
The early map of N
airne in Byethorne Park was
created by a local young disabled group.
