The Currency Creek Arboretum (CCA; or Currency Creek Arboretum Eucalypt Research Centre) is located in South Australia near the geographical feature and small town of Currency Creek, up from the mouth of the Murray River at Goolwa, and south of Adelaide.
Due to the difficulty of navigating the Murray Mouth, Young supported building the railway from the river port of Goolwa to the new sea port at Port Elliot (named after his friend, Charles Elliot).
Three years earlier construction on a branch line from Mount Barker Junction to Victor Harbor, with stations at Mount Barker, Strathalbyn, and Goolwa, was begun, and completed in 1884.
The Mary Ann, built by three brothers William, Thomas and Elliot Randell, began her voyage from Mannum downstream to Goolwa on 4 March 1853.
