Lynton came to live in the Goldfields area in 1973 and became interested in the Goldfields as some of the original mines were on his property. In the mid 1980’s this interest was shared with several like minded neighbours who also felt that the history of the Goldfields should be preserved. The result was the formation of the Barossa Goldfields Historical Society of which he was a founding member. Lynton has held various committee positions since and is currently the Chairperson.
