Orroroo is a delightful heritage town. Orroroo’s 1879 early settler’s
home is a superb example of the traditional pug-and-pine pioneer cottage,
while the 1888 Memorial Hall has a story or two to tell. So, too, does the
Yesteryear Costume Gallery, whose parade of fashion dates from the 1830s -
a collection, curiously for a town decidedly closer to desert than surf, which
includes an engaging array of women's swimming costumes.
The Pekina Creek recreational reserve picnic area opens on to a bush trail
which leads visitors past Aboriginal carvings, natural springs, fossilised
algae and an 1896 poem carved in rock. At a point just off Wilmington Road,
the creek flanks the state’s largest river red gum which has a 10m girth.
Visitors can visit the ruins of the first station homestead in the region,
Pekina, after a short drive south of town and stop for an overview of the
district from the Tank Lookout
