Marble Hill Ruins

Marble Hill Ruins was built in 1878 and destroyed in the 'Black Sunday Bushfires' of 1955. The Governor and his wife, family and staff barely escaped with their lives. In the 1960's, the National Trust of South Australia restored 2 rooms, the tower and the stables which they converted into tearooms. They Opened the site to the public until 1992 when it was closed due to lack of funds. But in 1994, a public meeting was held and a volunteer group called the 'Friends of Marble Hill' was formed. They opened the site for 15 years.
