First European to put foot on the Yorke Pensinsula, SA
Pastoral occupation of the lower Yorke Peninsula began in the middle of 1846. Charles Parrington, who arrived in the "Cygnet" in 1836 as a surveyor's labourer, chose a run on the peninsula. The application read "60 square miles on the East coast of Yorke's Peninsula at the Oyster Fishery". In 1847, George Penton and Tom Giles, son of Giles of the South Australian Company, arrived at Parrington's run. Tom Giles was made manager of a run north of Gum Flats in July 1847 and chose George Penton as his overseer. In 1852, Parrington took over Tuckokcowie as overseer.
After Tom Giles bought Troubridge Hill in 1853, Penton became his manager/overseer and the run was renamed Penton Vale. John Bramley was one of the Penton Vale shepherds. Tuckokcowie was sold by the middle of 1858 and Parrington moved to Port Adelaide. Tom Giles then offered Parrington a job as overseer at Penton Vale with George Penton as chief overseer. Yorke Peninsula was surveyed for farming in 1868 and agricultural selection began in 1869. Tom Giles chose his most reliable men and offered them 50 if they would take up blocks and sell them back to him when the purchase was complete. Only four men were doubtful; Parrington, George and Joe Elliott and John Bramley. The new farming settlers moved into tents near the site of Edithburgh in March 1870 and the sale of Edithburgh blocks took place in April 1871. Charles Parrington retired to Coobowie around 1878 and died in 1882. Penton Vale was cut up for closer settlement in 1899.
