Did you know that South Australia has a conservation park dedicated to a poet? Near the fishing village of Port MacDonnell, tiny Dingley Dell Conservation Park was the home of one of Australia's most famed poets, Adam Lindsay Gordon. He lived at Dingley Dell from 1864 until 1867 and was also known throughout the region for daring feats of horsemanship. Historic Dingley Dell Cottage contains a display of his life, his works and the history of the cottage.

Caveman came

He came, He saw, He conked her,
Before too long he bonked her,
Adam, flushed, his seed was sown,
Around the world, his deed was known,
Eve, he saw, was cute and beaut,
He partook forbidden fruit,
Pitter, patter, little feet,
Population soon replete.
