Visit Mount Lofty Ranges in South Australia and you’ll come across a small stream called Dawson Creek. From Burslem Hill, Dawson Creek flows east in the direction of Strathalbyn, where it joins Angas River. The land around it is used primarily for farming, so you’ll see lots of sheep and cattle.
A six-minute drive along Old Bull Creek Rd will bring you to Gilbert’s Motor Museum in Strathalbyn. Here, you’ll find a display of vehicles from the past as a homage to the town’s motoring heritage. If seeing these vehicles makes you feel like doing something with your hands, your next stop should be Lie-Nielsen Toolworks Australia, which is a five-minute drive via Ashbourne Rd from the museum. You can try out all their tools before deciding on which to purchase. There is more to discover here, keep scrolling for the best Airbnb vacation rentals near Dawson Creek, Australia.
