The district of Robertstown stretches from: |
|
|
Worlds End near Burra Creek in the North |
|
|
Emmaus (between Eudunda and Point Pass) in the South |
|
|
Florieton and Bower in the East |
|
|
Tothill Range in the West |
| The area is interesting geologically and geographically with varying topography, rainfall, vegetation and land use. | |
| The early settlers were of mainly British and German descent. | |
| Robertstown has developed to be an independent and self-motivated community, which has worked hard for and financed many of the amenities, for a small population. | |
|
Altogether, a healthy climate, a strong community awareness and a good place to live! |
