All About Mount Barker
Mount Barker is a suburban town in the state of South Australia, located just a half an hour drive from downtown Adelaide. Historically a farming community, the town is surrounded by sprawling countryside and hills, which make for great walks, cycling, and picnics in the Aussie sunshine. Picturesque, tree-lined Gawler Street is lined with restaurants serving dishes made from locally-sourced ingredients, as well as independent shops, and cafes serving Australia’s renowned coffee.
Venture outside of town to discover the country’s other famous beverage: wine. A number of local vineyards sit just 15-minutes drive from town — stop by and sample regional varietals surrounded by verdant, rolling landscapes. With so much nature and a buzzing city to explore a short ride away, Mount Barker is a handy jumping off point for all that South Australia has to offer.
