Port Elliot Who's Who
Public Profile
I am relatively new to the Ipswich region having just moved here in 2017. Since then, I have set down some deep roots and happy to call myself a true local now. Cookies and Cache was launched in 2024 and I am loving working with small business owners from my own community - people I meet at the gym and around the place.

Distinguished and Famous people from Port Elliot
🚂 Henry Edward Fox Young
Lieutenant-Governor Henry Young examined Encounter Bay with harbourmaster Thomas Lipson while seeking a route between the Murray River and the sea. In 1850 he recommended a harbour at Port Elliot, facilities at Goolwa and an animal-powered railway between them. Port Adelaide interests objected, fearing diverted trade, and the proposal became a political dispute as well as an engineering undertaking. Work nevertheless proceeded, and the tramway was completed in 1854. Young’s association with Port Elliot rests on that direct involvement in its early transport infrastructure: an ambitious attempt to connect river shipping with ocean vessels across the intervening land.
