Meadows is the centre for a rich dairy industry and hosts a monthly produce
market. Dairy cows and their produce are also the central theme of the annual
Country Fair which is held every October and is famous for its UdderTug hand-milking
competition.
The Prospect Hill Museum keeps tabs on a past which embraces renowned Antarctic
explorer Sir Douglas Mawson who settled in the district in the 1920s.Meadows
also shares its corner in the Adelaide Hills with the 5000ha Kuitpo Forest
which is a popular haunt of bird-watchers, picnickers and recreational bush-walkers.
Meadows is within easy reach of such tourist traps as the Germanic Adelaide
Hills town of Handorf - settled in 1838 by Silesian and Prussian refugees
who fled to Australia to escape religious persecution and who’ve bequeathed
a singular heritage to the region. The wine-heartlands of McLaren Vale and
Langhorne Creek are just a pleasant, 20-minute drive from Meadows
