Undelcarra
In 1876, with three sons, they moved to Adelaide and bought a mansion at Burnside which they called "Undelcarra"; Newland continued to manage the stations from Adelaide.
George Debney was a leading furniture maker in Rundle Street and one of the first owners of the estate that was later known as Undelcarra. The estate stretched north from Second Creek, between Lockwood Road and Hallett Road up to approximately where Statenborough Street is now located. The Debneys lived on the property from the 1850s till 1877 when it was sold to Simpson Newland who significantly enlarged the house and called it Undelcarra.
Undelcarra belonged to Simpson Newland between 1876 and 1911. He is best known as author of the book Paving the Way but was also a pastoralist from the River Darling area where his Marra Station had an out-station named Undelcarra which is said to be Aboriginal for ‘under the hill with running water’.
The estate passed into the hands of Torrens Ward, solicitor from 1911–1919.
It was purchased in 1919 by Alfred Allen Simpson of A. Simpson & Co whitegoods manufacturers. The house is still owned by his descendants.
Final subdivision was in 1969, but the house still stands in Undelcarra Road.
The gatehouse which is still on Lockwood Road near the bridge over Second Creek was converted into a private residence and the main driveway re-routed to have access from Undelcarra Road. The gates that are now seen there were originally on Glynburn Road at the end of the driveway to the house Erindale.
Other nearby streets include Debney Drive, Newland Road, Torrens Avenue (in Erindale), and Undelcarra Road.
