"Yallum Park Cream" rose Description
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

From Glen Clifford's Notes on the History of Yallum Park, Penola, South Australia:
Yallum, originally 115 sq. miles, was occupied by Thomas, Josiah and Solomon Austin about 1840, they built a house which is still standing.
They sold to Thomas Allan and Henry Edmund Wells in 1856.
They sold to John Riddoch in 1861. He built another house in 1863 and laid out a garden with many rare trees..... In 1878 Mr. Riddoch decided to build the two-storey house ....[which] was completely finished in the first week of January 1880.
In 1914 my late parents (Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Clifford) purchased the homestead.
