You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Jacob's Creek''' is a small [[stream|creek]] located in [[Mid North]] region of the Australian state of [[South Australia]].

==Course and features==
Jacob's Creek rises in the [[Barossa Ranges]] and flows westward through the [[wine-producing region]] of the [[Barossa Valley (wine)|Barossa Valley]], approximately ((convert|80|km)) north of [[Adelaide]]. The creek is only several kilometres long and eventually meets the [[North Para River]] at ((SAcity|Rowland Flat)). The watercourse is studded with ancient and picturesque [[Eucalyptus camaldulensis|River Red Gums]].

It was first discovered (but not named) by Europeans in December 1837 by an expedition led [[William Light|Colonel William Light]] and was surveyed in 1839 by his assistant surveyor, William Jacob (1814–1902), as part of a wider survey of the [[Barossa Valley|Barossa region]]. Jacob settled here in the early 1840s, hence the origin of the name. In the local aboriginal dialect it is called "Cowieaurita", meaning "yellow-brown water", in an area known to them as Moorooroo, which became the name of the Hundred.

In the early 1840s Jacob's Creek was briefly home to [[Johann Menge]], South Australia's first geologist, who lived for some time on an island and in nearby cave on the creek. Here he grew vegetables, and was particularly struck with the possibilities for viticulture. Menge was influential in facilitating the settlement from the Barossa Valley by German Lutheran immigrants.

The creek lent its name to the famous wine brand [[Jacob's Creek (wine)|Jacob's Creek]], which is produced by [[Orlando Wines]], located ((convert|2|km)) [[Ordinal directions|southwest]] along the [[Barossa Valley Highway]] in the small town of [[Rowland Flat, South Australia|Rowland Flat]]. [[Johann Gramp]], the founder of [[Orlando Wines]], first planted grape vines on the banks of Jacob's Creek in 1847.

In 1997 [[Orlando Wines]], in conjunction with the Northern Adelaide and Barossa Catchment Water Management Board, commenced a rejuvenation project for Jacob's Creek. All non-native plants and trees, such as [[bamboo]], [[ash tree|ash]], and [[olives]] were removed, and replanted with [[Eucalyptus globulus|blue gums]], [[River Red Gum|red gums]] and other [[Flora of Australia|Australian native trees and shrubs]]. As a result of the project, many native species of [[frog]]s, [[Fish in Australia|native fish]], and waterbirds have returned, with the creek gradually returning to its former natural state.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20051224145708/http://www.jacobscreek.com/apps/news/index.php?pageId=102&catId=26&secId=8 Jacobs Creek Rejuvenation Project]</ref>
