Raukkan

Raukkan

Situated on the lands of the Ngarrindjeri people, Raukkan lies on the banks of Lake Alexandrina near the mouth of the Murray River and Lake Albert. It is the birthplace of David Unaipon, the inventor and author whose image, along with the mission church of Raukkan, appears on the $50 note. Built in 1869, the restored church is still in use today. Raukkan is steeped in history and its residents have a great sense of community pride, this is really evident in the local history Gallery. Raukkan has also been recently visited by internationally renowned artist Guido van Helten (Brim silo, Coonalpyn silos). He painted the walls of Moorundi (Raukkan’s Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service).

The Murray River, Lakes and Coorong Murray Bridge, South Australia 5253

We acknowledge and respect Aboriginal peoples as South Australia’s first peoples and recognise them as traditional owners and occupants of land and waters in South Australia. Our Murray River Lakes and Coorong region’s tourism industry supports spiritual, social, heritage and cultural beliefs and values of Aboriginal people. This is beyond a dictionary definition of ‘Country’ on a map and includes stories, resources and places with a connection to ancestors and often being the custodians and caretakers of their land.
