A two-hour drive north of Adelaide, the rural town of Spalding is at the centre
of the largest water catchment area in South Australia. A network of streams,
creeks and rivers meet four kilometres south of the town to form the Broughton
River which was mapped and named in 1839 by explorer Edward John Eyre. And
not only does the river system help sustain productive grain farms and sheep
and beef cattle runs, but the Broughton attracts anglers from far and wide
to challenge its wily trout.
Visitors get an insight into the lives and times of the pioneer settlers at
Geralka Rural Farm where teams of Clydesdales haul original ploughs and rippers.
And a tour of the Wheal Sarah copper mine introduces visitors to the hardships
and trials faced by early miners
