Manna Hill
Nomenclature
It has been said that as 'manna', was the food miraculously supplied to the Israelites after their flight from the Egypt the name may have been coined by someone with a good biblical knowledge: The Manna Hill Run was 'renowned for its good tucker' according to an itinerant shearer. The Biblical reference is given further credence by the fact that in October 1876 the SA Parliament voted to set up an experimental wheat growing station about 40 km south-west of Outalpa which was named 'Manna Hill'.
