The Peninsula Club

'The Peninsula' is a state of the art function centre located on 2 acres of stunning coastline at Point Boston on Eyre Peninsula. This sensational strip of pristine coast looks due east over the ocean towards the Sir Joseph Banks Group of islands. The building is an oval shaped glass building with a distinctive sail roof and is fitted out with a commercial kitchen, bar and dining facilities. The builder of the function centre was winner of the prestigious 2009 Master Builders Awards in South Australia.

This 2 acre property is renowned for it's natural bushland, beautiful white sandy beaches and an expanse of water directly in front of the property. A vast array of beautiful and unique native birds and wildlife can be found in the Point Boston area. Walking trails are located throughout Point Boston and the total privacy which many people crave during a busy travelling schedule make this destination a top priority.

The Peninsula Events & Eco Retreat strives to provide a contemporary, first class experience for visitors which is both unique and reflective of the local area whilst being committed to caring and protecting the natural environment surrounding the location.

A short 5 minute drive from the Port Lincoln Airport and 20 minutes from the centre of Port Lincoln, The Peninsula Events & Eco Retreat is well located on Sullivan Drive, Point Boston.

Welcome to Shelly Beach

It’s been a big couple of years for the Parnkalla (Barngarla) community on Eyre Peninsula, in South Australia’s west.

On 22nd January, the Federal Court recognised and upheld the Aboriginal community’s claim for native title of an area that spans 44,500 square kilometres, which works out to about two thirds of Eyre Peninsula.

It’s been 19 years since they originally filed the native title claim, so you can imagine their delight at hearing the news. More here.

Not only has this just happened, but the Parnkalla community has also been very busy working with language experts to document and record their own language. Many words are used commonly by families around the region, others have been found in historical documents using many references and the knowledge of local Port Lincoln Parnkalla (Barngarla) elders.

As you can imagine, all words need to go through a stringent process, where they are checked and studied to ensure that they are indeed true original words of the Parnkalla (Barngarla) community.

The exciting thing is that the list grows longer every month. More and more words are added and they’re getting closer to being able to create a dictionary that will not only showcase their own language, but also allow it to be taught.

After writing a script in English, we decided that the best way to share a Parnkalla (Barngarla) story about a Shelly Beach was to do it by including local language into the story, just how it may be used today. The words used in this story were chosen from an approved words list.

The words include:

Kallinyalla – Port Lincoln

Yalanyi - Shelly Beach

Yarda – Land

Gooya – Fish

Wardana – Sea

Claw – Birri

Yoornoo – Sun

Yalardna – Oysters

Ganyabili – Rocks

Ganya – Rock

Katta – Stick

Boodnoo – Scrub

Ngawaibili – Mothers

Gadabiri – Dolphins

Wiidi – Laugh

Bau - Goodbye

So for now, bau!
