The 10 kilometre 'Kapunda Heritage Trail' meanders past the town's historic, buildings, churches and remnants of previous lifestyles.
Feel the rich history and character that shaped Kapunda, Australia's oldest commercial copper mining town (1844) and home of Sir Sidney Kidman 'The Cattle King'.
Stop at the historic mine site and follow the walking trail past the Steel Horse Statue, Whim, Open Cut Mine and Chimney.
The town flourished during the boom period between the 1840s - 1870s, which developed strong and independent businesses and manufacturing. Visit the Museum (renowned as one of Australia's finest folk museums). Open everyday from 1pm to 4pm
Kapunda is a friendly country ideally situated between the Clare and Barossa Valleys. The town exudes a pleasant appeal, which, in part, emanates from the ornate, well-preserved, main precinct buildings, which continue to serve the community after more than a century and a half. Have lunch at one of the historic hotels, bakeries or cafe's. Local accommodation and most community services are available also. Kapunda is an RV friendly town.
