Angorichina in the Flinders Ranges. In 1927 a WW1 soldiers' tuberculosis sanitorium opened here. It closed in 1973. Restored cabins are now used for tourist accommodation. In Parachilna Gorge east of the town some land was donated to the Soldiers’ T.B. Aid Society to establish a tuberculosis sanatorium in the pristine air there. Partly due to the efforts of Ella Cleggett the Angorichina hostel opened in 1927 and treated patients until 1973. It is now a hostel for travellers.
