Tarlee is the commercial and service centre for a mixed but predominantly
wheat farming region. Modern methods of storing grain finally came to the
town in 1963 when the first silo was built.
An hour’s drive north of Adelaide, Tarlee was also a major marshalling
transport point when the Kapunda and Burra copper mines were at their production
peak and remains a strategic stopover for motorists travelling to and from
the eastern states through Broken Hill.
Most of Tarlee’s early buildings were constructed from the distinctive
blue stone hewn from local quarries which also supplied the foundation stone
for many of Adelaide’s major old buildings including the GPO, the Adelaide
Museum, Legislative Council and railway station
