Blanchetown is a town in South Australia, on the right (West) bank of the Murray River 130 km northeast of Adelaide. The Blanchetown Bridge is the westernmost (and furthest downstream) of the four times that the Sturt Highway crosses the Murray River. It is widely regarded as the entrance to the Riverland. It was originally surveyed in October 1855 as Blanche Town. It was named after Lady Blanche MacDonnell, the wife of the Governor of South Australia, Sir Richard MacDonnell. The Governor selected the site personally, to replace an earlier settlement of Murrundi (or Moorundee) - 5 km downstream - which was subject to flooding. Murrundi had been chosen as the base of the Protector of Aborigines by Edward John Eyre since 1841.
