Gawler Travel Guide

Gawler accommodation, Gawler activities and attractions, Gawler maps, transportation to and around Gawler - the ALL NEW Jasons Gawler Destination Travel Guide is your complete visitor guide for Gawler.

Gawler was settled by Europeans in 1839, and is South Australia's oldest country town, being the second settlement after Port Adelaide. Gawler is the western gateway to the Barossa Valley and a thriving agricultural district.

The boom period from 1860 until the end of the century saw the construction of many gracious buildings and today Gawler is renowned for its grand old buildings and heritage sites - including some 1840s bluestone cottages, the Town Hall (1878), the Post Office (1866), the Gawler Institute (1870), the National Bank (1881), the Old Telegraph Station (1859), the Kingsford Hotel (1858) and various churches. The Church Hill area is a declared heritage precinct. The store called 'Simply Pine Plus' has relics from the time when it was H B Crosby Drapers (built in 1886), including the original façade and the 'flying fox' which took money and change between the counters and the accounts section.
