 Un
peut d'histoire.
In the early 1840's, the pioneer and explorer John Horrocks settled at
Penwortham, named after his home town in England. From here, he explored
further north into the Flinders ranges, using Afhan camels and looking
for land suitable for settlement. On one such expedition, Horrocks' party
was beset by illness, injuries and war-like Aboriginals. Having run short
of provisions, they survived only by making a " skillogalee" or "skilly"
- a sort of thin porridge or gruel, probably from grass seeds and water.
The word 2skillogalee" comes from Celtic origins and the dish was commonly
fed to prisoners in Ireland around this time. When Horrocks finally made
it back to Penwortham, he named the creek nearby the Skillogalee Creek
in memory of this event. The vineyard takes its name from the creek which
runs through its eastern, lower end. Areras now planted at Skillogalee
are: totall 19,3 ha.
