Description of Middleton Point
The history goes back to when Lt. Col. Thomas Higgins purchased the land in 1849 to be used as a cattle run and then subsequently a river transport system to carry South Australian flour up the Murray River to the Victorian goldfields. An iron railway line was also created to link
Goolwa with Port Elliot, so wool bales could be shipped from this port to England’s mills.
Middleton was named by Col. Higgins after a place in Ireland. Officially, it dates from 1856, but there were several cottages already here by then. Today, it’s an coastal holiday retreat, sprawling along the relentless surf of the Southern Ocean. But its industrial origins hug the railway line as it crosses a little creek which runs into the sea at
Middleton Point, of surfing fame.
Middleton is enjoying a second heyday 150 years after the first, as it's become synonymous with south coast surfing and more recently with winter whale watching.
