Angorichina Station

The lease was first taken up by Septimus Boord in 1853.[1] In 1859, the property was visited by the surveyors Selwyn and Goyder and by the Governor of South Australia, Richard MacDonnell. Later the same year a shepherd on Angorichina Station, Robert Blinman, first discovered copper and took out a mining lease which later became the Blinman mine.[2]

Walter Henry McFarlane acquired Angorichina in the early 1920s after disposing of Warrioota Station.[3] In 1941 the Script error: No such module "convert". property was carrying a flock of 38,000 sheep that produced 1300 bales of wool.[4]
