KAURNA LAND
UNITED KINGDOM
WORLD WAR II
SALT FIELD
QUARRY
The Kaurna people have inhabited Salisbury for thousands of years, and at that time the land was not called Salisbury; it was an estuary for fishing and access to natural resources for the Kaurna people.
John Harvey, an English immigrant to South Australia in 1839, purchased land in 1847, naming it Salisbury after his wife's hometown in England. The area thrived with agriculture and livestock.
After World War II began, the Australian Ministry of Munitions requisitioned Salisbury and Penfield lands for munitions depots, converting agricultural land to industrial use, notably the Salisbury Explosives Depot.
After WWII, military factories repurposed for armaments production became versatile production and processing plants, including the notable Salt Field in Dry Creek.
Dry Creek's salt flats, now defunct, are being transformed into a residential area with plans for 25,000 homes. The area is currently undergoing site restoration, with land use status transitioning from quarrying and mining.
