Been a while since this topic has had a run so I thought Id try and revive it For those that are new it is basically an Australian History quiz with a series of clues.
The person who is first to answer correctly and is acknowledged by the questioner, then goes on to ask the next question.

Here we go, I am found in SA and have been acknowledged for over 156 years, yet I am not a physical thing.

[OzzieAu]

Goyders Line

 

[Manpa]

Ozzie Au, you are correct.

Goyder's Line is a line that runs roughly eastwest across South Australia and, in effect, joins places with an average annual rainfall of 10 inches (250 mm). North of Goyder's Line, annual rainfall is usually too low to support cropping, with the land being suitable only for grazing. Related to that, the line also marks a distinct change in vegetation. To the south, it is composed mainly of mallee scrub, whilst saltbush predominates to the north of the line.

Over to you.
