👣 Footsteps Through Time: Henley Heritage Walk - Part of South Australia's History Festival 🌿

What a crowd. We joined the fully booked #Henley #Heritage Walk on 4 May, and it was an unforgettable experience. Huge thanks to the Henley & Grange Historical Society for guiding us through the stories that shaped this beautiful seaside area.

💡 Two standout facts:

• Henley once had a public swimming pool by the foreshore—Dawn Fraser trained there in her early years!

• The original jail cells still stand, quietly reminding us of another time.

A highlight? Stepping inside the Soldiers Memorial—moving and memorable.

👏 A big thank you to the Henley & Grange Historical Society for a wonderful tour. If you missed this one, we highly recommend checking them out—either in person or through their self-guided tour app. You’ll uncover so much local history just waiting to be explored.

📌 While this particular walk won’t be repeated during the festival, there are other fantastic Henley-based walks still available:

— Henley South Coastal Walk

— Henley South Inland Walk

— Grange Heritage Walk
