    Jupiter Creek

    Nomenclature

    Six kilometres south-west of Echunga, was the name given to the gold diggings discovered by Thomas Plane and Henry Sanders in 1868.

Plane served in the gold escort from Mount Alexander to Adelaide, farmed at Echunga and was a butcher and blacksmith at Chapman Gully following the gold rush to that place. Legend has it that it got its name from one of J.B. Hack's bullocks which showed a decided preference for this watercourse and, when missing, searchers could always rely on finding him grazing along the creek.
