Beacon Hill Lookout TowerPrint Page

The Beacon Hill Lookout Tower commemorates 150 years of the proclamation of the Robe township.

The town itself was named after South Australian Governor Frederick Holt Robe, who chose the site for a new port and settlement in 1846, to serve as the government and commercial hub of the colony's south-east. The area was attracting a growing number of pastoralists, who needed supplies and a convenient shipping route for their wool.
