A substantial portion of the Adelaide Hills LocalWiki contains information related to the early history and development of the Adelaide Hills Region including information concerning persons and their families who contributed to the early development and establishment of South Australia and the Region.  This currently includes substantial information related to the establishment of Mount Barker and Hahndorf together with other Adelaide Hills locations, and Adelaide and South Australia in general.

A problem relevant to the above is determining what information is available and how to access it.  Using the Search facility and also the Tags located at the bottom of each page can assist where appropriate Linking has been employed.

Although not necessarily covering links to all relevant pages, the following Menu is intended to assist and hopefully will be useful.  Please note that some links may transfer to subsequent sub-menu/s which will cover additional associated pages.
