Discover the story of the Stobie pole, a true icon of South Australia, integral to our community for nearly a century.
Invented by engineer James 'Cyril' Stobie at the Adelaide Electric Supply Company (AESCo), the Stobie pole was developed to meet the unique challenges of using traditional wooden poles in South Australia. Constructed from steel and concrete, these durable poles have reliably supported our electricity supply for decades.
This documentary examines how Stobie poles are made, compares them to wooden poles, and discusses their future in the era of renewable energy. It also showcases how local artists have turned these practical structures into vibrant works of art through painting and mosaicking, enhancing our local landscapes.
