Detail InformationEdit

“Marble Hill was the Vice-Regal summer residence for the Governor of South Australia from 1880 to 1955. It is also the name of a district of the Adelaide Hills Council, named after the residence and in which the residence is located. It is about 20 km east of Adelaide between the towns of Ashton and Cherryville, and has expansive views of the Adelaide Hills to the North and East, and the Adelaide Plains to the West.
Governor William Jervois is said to have given the hill its name during construction of the residence, when informed that marble had been found during the excavation of the site. To this he remarked “”Then we shall call it Marble Hill””. In fact, there is no true marble at Marble hill. The Governor’s informant had merely misidentified the locally abundant quartzite. An alternative account contends that it was instead named for the hill’s rounded top, which resembled a marble when viewed from a distance.”
