The Appealinna
ruins are reached via a track approximately 20 kilometres north of the Wilpena turnoff on
Hawker-
Blinman Road. Then by a track about 1km north of the
Wirrealpa turn-off on the
Blinman Road. Joseph Wills, a local pastoralist in the 1850s, built the
homestead and stockyards on the southern side of the creek, while the
ruins on the north side were once a busy mining settlement. The flat stone quarried on-site and used in the construction of these buildings is a unique feature of Appealinna.
Interpretive signs have been erected around Appealinna for your reading pleasure, as
well as a
carpark and picnic table. No
toilets though, except for the single-seater that was built approximately 150 paces from Wills'
homestead. This bucket-style dunny has a rear hatch for the removal and emptying of its bucket.
Camping is no longer permitted here. Day use only.
