Mapping out history
Will and Ali Gebhardt are a young couple living on Mokota, Will’s family farm near Burra, 230 kilometres north of Adelaide. They both have a strong family history with rural South Australia: Ali grew up on her family farm between Victor Harbor and Cape Jervis; and Will is the fifth generation of his family to be living in the former Mount Cone homestead on what is now Mokota.
As the history books record, a German migrant named Gustav Gebhardt started buying land in South Australia’s mid-north during the 1860s. He purchased 2000 acres (809 hectares)
