| Port Wakefield was the first government gazetted town north of Adelaide and its stock of well-preserved buildings reflect its distinctive place in the state’s heritage. 100 klms north of Adelaide, the town was initially established at the head of the Gulf St Vincent in the 1840s to ship copper from the mines in the Burra area. |
When the miners began moving their copper by rail in 1857, Port Wakefield
turned to wheat and wool as its lifeblood. The town’s dependence on
the sea is reflected in the heritage walk and the Port Wakefield of today
still beats to a seafaring rhythm
