The Hundred of Ripon is a cadastral hundred of the County of Robinson in South Australia, and is near Streaky Bay, South Australia on the Eyre Peninsula.
History
[edit]The traditional owners of the area are the Wirangu and Nauo people, both speakers of the Wirangu language. The first European to sight the area was Dutch explorer Pieter Nuyts, in 1627 in the Gulden Zeepaard, and, in 1802, Matthew Flinders on his voyage in the Investigator.[1] Flinders named the nearby Streaky Bay.
The first European land exploration was that of John Hill and Samuel Stephens in 1839, followed by Edward John Eyre in the same year.
