North Shields is a town on the east coast of Eyre Peninsula, overlooking Boston Bay in Spencer Gulf in South Australia.[3] In 2011 it had a population of 503.[1] It is 3.1 km (1.9 mi) south from Port Lincoln Airport and 11 km (6.8 mi) north of Port Lincoln.[2]
There was a former Lutheran Aboriginal mission at North Shields from 1849 to 1853. It was associated with Reverend Clamor Wilhelm Schuermann, who had previously published a dictionary of the local Parnkalla language in 1844. Schuermann moved to the Western District of Victoria in 1853, and the mission was closed and its residents sent to the Anglican mission at Poonindie.[4][5] The surviving remnants of the mission are listed on the South Australian Heritage Register as C. W. Schuermann's Mission Site.[6]
