to be missed.
If you haven't already heard of the town of Freeling I'll bet you've heard
of a place called "Gungellan". Yes, the region is the heart of filming
for the popular TV series "McLeods Daughters". Just 10 minutes north of Freeling is Kapunda, often referred to by visitors as 'one of the state's best kept secrets'. Kapunda is
just 80klms from Adelaide's CBD. What a rich history this
small town has. Once the largest town outside of Adelaide, its grand
stone buildings are a reflection of a
thriving and prosperous era when Australia's first commercial copper
mine was in production here. History, leisure and fine art. You'll find
plenty to keep you busy here! And, just a 10 minute drive south
of Kapunda and you can be enjoying the tastes of the famous Barossa
Valley or 20 minutes to the north indulge yourself in the premium wine
growing district of the Clare Valley. |
