About historic Beltana

Historic Beltana is a tiny township (pop +/- 20) in the western foothills of the northern Flinders Ranges in S.A.  Aboriginal people have lived here for thousands of years, but it is the remnants of a late 19th century town that are recognised as having heritage value, even though the town has no reason to still exist.
