Historic Reserve Information
Lartelare Rebecca Spender (1851-1916). Born in a wurley here on the banks of the Port River. Lartelare grew into a proud and strong Kaurna woman, an elder who became the Keeper of the Black Swan. She lived here until 1890 when the family finally had to move to Port McLeay because of the expanding industry and commerce of the growing population of the new colony.
