Tjilbruke Spring

Tjilbruke Spring, nestled within the Kingston Park Coastal Reserve, holds profound cultural and spiritual significance for the Kaurna people. This permanent freshwater spring has been a vital part of the landscape for thousands of years, once forming a coastal lagoon. The sacred site is integral to the Tjilbruke Dreaming Story, a central narrative in Kaurna mythology. Overlooking the spring, the Tjilbruke Monument by sculptor John Dowie commemorates this Dreaming story, offering visitors a glimpse into the rich Aboriginal heritage of the area.
