Nestled in the Southern Flinders Ranges, Wirrabara is a charming town renowned for its rich history and natural beauty. Established in 1874, it was one of Australia's first government forest nurseries, contributing significantly to the nation's timber industry. The town's name, derived from the Kaurna language, translates to "gum trees with running water," reflecting its lush landscapes. Today, visitors can explore the historic Wirrabara Forest, featuring the 400-year-old King Tree and the rehabilitated Old Nursery. The area offers numerous bushwalking and mountain biking trails, including sections of the renowned Mawson and Heysen Trails. On the third Sunday of each month, the Wirrabara Producers Market showcases local produce, fostering community spirit and offering fresh fruits, meats, olive oils, and baked goods. The town also boasts impressive silo art, depicting the history of the forest industry and local flora and fauna, adding to its unique charm.
