REASONS TO VISIT

BURRAWith a thriving food culture and quality accommodation options, the historic township of Burra makes a brilliant base in the heart of the Goyder Region.

Wander the main street and Market Square, home to shops and eateries, as well as a number of the township’s great pubs. Explore both Burra North and Burra township, browsing antique stores and galleries, or picnic on the banks of the Burra Creek.

Drop in to the Burra Visitor Centre on Market Square to collect your Heritage Passport Key and immerse yourself in the history.

EUDUNDADescribed as the Valley of Hidden Treasures, Eudunda has a strong community spirit and offers a wonderful experience to the visitor.

The busy main street is full of eclectic shops and cafes, as well as the Eudunda Family Heritage Gallery, celebrating over 140 years of history.

The town was the birthplace to author Colin Thiele and has a great scenic drive which highlights his boyhood home and a number of locations made famous by his books.

Be sure to visit the award-winning Centenary Gardens behind the town’s main street to view a statue of Colin and the iconic pelican, Mr Percival.

Visit Eudunda as part of the World’s End Driving Circuit, staying for a meal at one of the region’s great hotels or B&Bs.

MOUNT BRYANJust 16km north of Burra along the Barrier Highway is the township of Mount Bryan. Once a booming rail town, the railway site has been transformed into a beautiful roadside park, with a playground for the kids, and historical displays. Dine at the Mount Bryan Hotel for a memorable meal in a fantastic setting.

Mount Bryan was the birthplace of Sir Hubert Wilkins, one of Australia’s most daring aviators and explorers – the first to fly over Antarctica and take a submarine beneath the Arctic ice.

Visit the beautifully restored Wilkins cottage as part of the Dare’s Hill Driving Circuit. Keys to the cottage are available at the Mount Bryan Hotel.

HALLETTHallett is a small, friendly town where people are always happy to stop and chat. Fertile soil, good rains and the town’s location as the rail head led to the development of the district as a centre for prime sheep and wool.

Today, Hallett is being revitalised, with a gallery, tourist park, and camping area.

TEROWIEDeclared an historic town in 1985, Terowie is one of Australia’s most famous railway towns. When the broad gauge railway arrived from Adelaide in 1880, Terowie boomed for almost 90 years. It was also where General Douglas MacArthur gave his ‘I shall return’ speech in WW2. Head to its historic Main Street to explore its five museums and many historical buildings. The friendly folk of Terowie’s Information Outlet are near the entrance to the historic railway station.

FARRELL FLATFarrell Flat is on the old copper trail to the south west of Burra, and was once a stopover point for bullock and mule teams transporting copper ore from Burra to Port Wakefield. The town’s history can be discovered at an award-winning, interpretive centre, located in the main street community gardens.

ROBERTSTOWN & POINT PASSNestling on the flat to the east of the Bluff Ranges, Robertstown is located in the Northern Mount Lofty Ranges. A surprise for travellers between Eudunda and Point Pass is the Lutheran Church, with its gold painted spire. Nearby is the World’s End Gorge, a natural wonderland. From Inspiration Point, 4WDs can access a magnificent view over the Australia Plains, Robertstown and the Flats.

NEW! BRING BURRA’S HISTORY TO LIFE WITH 1852 MINER, JOHNNY GREEN!

What do Midnight Oil, Colin Thiele and the world’s biggest copper mine have in common?

South Australia’s beautiful Goyder Region.

The sun still shines on the stubble around Eudunda, the birthplace of Colin Thiele. The cottage on Cobb and Co Corner is still one of the most photographed ruins in Australia (Midnight Oil fans recognise it from the album cover Diesel and Dust), and the State Heritage town of Burra is still home to the aptly named ‘Monster Mine’ – the legacy of the 19th-century copper boom, the largest the world had ever seen.

Take the roads less travelled through the Goyder region. You’ll stay in historic cottages, raise a glass in welcoming country pubs and wake to iconic landscapes that are the stuff of Australia’s identity...

WELCOME TO GOYDER

Relive the extraordinary history of Burra – from the discovery of the world’s largest deposit to the slow decline of a way of life.

The town of Burra is rich with mining heritage and most of its 1840s legacy is intact. The surest way to get the whole picture is to buy a Burra Heritage Passport, which gives you instant access to see, hear and touch the past.

The Passport provides instant access to the township’s most important and intriguing sites, including the Redruth Gaol, the cellars of the Unicorn Brewery and the Miners’ Dugouts (the Hobbit-like holes lining ‘Creek Street’).

The Burra Heritage Passport also provides you with access to Burra’s three museums: the Bon Accord, the Market Square Museum (under the Lolly Shop at Market Square) and Morphett’s Engine House.

Thanks to the Heritage Passport Key, you’ll travel at your own pace and spend as long as you like at any or all of the exhibits. Some people spend two days doing the whole Passport experience!
