Nairne Heritage Trail
Presently, a group of enthusiasts from the N&DRA are planning and researching a Heritage Trail based on the present Historic Walking Tour leaflet. It is envisaged that this Heritage Trail will have interpretive plaques along its route showing buildings of historic significance and ex-planations of their significance in the history of Nairne.
Here are some examples of what we have, so far. |
Nairne Institute
Built in 1904, this coursed stone building has played an important part in the lives of local residents. Its uses have ranged from library, polling booth, bank agency, and for civic and social gatherings. |
 |
The Albert Mill
Built in 1857 by Thomas Stoddart, it was sold to John Dunn in 1864 for 1,500 pounds, and operated as a steam driven grain mill until 1906.
In later years the mill has been used for many purposes such as hardware, grain storage, and a community cen-tre during World War II. It is on the State Heritage List and the Register of the National Estate. |

The Heritage Walking Tour brochure is currently available in Main Road shops such as Millies Bakery, the hotels and the post office. You can also download a pdf version here.
We will be very grateful for assistance in any part of this project as accuracy of historical recording is essential.
Please contact The Secretary of the N&DRA if you can help: phone, 0414810068 or email, ndra@live.com.au or post information to PO Box 416, Nairne, SA 5252.
