When you think of Australia, Gawler may not be the top destination in my mind. However, this charming country town will surprise you. Gawler is rich in cultural heritage, historical sites, and beautiful parks. If you’re coming for a weekend, start your itinerary with an enlightening tour of Murray Street, and see sites of historical significance, such as Pioneer Park, McKinley Monument, and Gawler Town Hall. You may also hop on your bike to Dead Mans Pass Reserve that connects to Apex Park for a nice afternoon picnic. For dining options, Gawler has plenty of quaint cafes, including The Java Hut and Café Sia. You may also visit the wineries at Barossa Valley, which is a short drive from town.
