    What memory of the pioneer days still stands at Penola,South Australia?

    Question #20180. Asked by singer. (Jul 01 02 4:16 AM)


    Friar Tuck

    Petticoat Lane, a restored early 1800s pioneer settlement, just off Church Street, Penola's main drag. Eucalyptus red gum-board buildings and stone and timber settlers' cottages line the old lane, now restored and turned into galleries filled with interesting local crafts. - http://www.cnn.com/2000/TRAVEL/PURSUITS/FOOD/01/australia.wine.lat/

    Also preserved on Petticoat Lane is the humble classroom where Roman Catholic nun, Mary MacKillop, along with Father Julian Tenison Woods set up the first Josephite school for poor bush children in Australia in 1867. In January, Pope John Paul II visited Australia for the beatification of Mary MacKillop, a pioneer who regularly clashed with the church's male hierarchy in the last century and was briefly excommunicated by an angry bishop who disagreed with her work in the outback and in city slums. MacKillop is likely to become Australia's first saint.
