Yorketown, 230km west of Adelaide, is at the centre of one of the earliest
parts of the Yorke Peninsula to be settled. The Historical Society’s
heritage walk takes in a number of significant buildings including the Old
Courthouse which houses a collection of more than 1000 photographs depicting
the pioneering days.
Yorketown is surrounded by a an extensive series of inland salt lakes some
of which are a distinctive pink, and it was once suggested that the town change
its name to Salt Lake City.
Harvesting salt was a major industry from the late 1890s until the 1930s and,
at its peak during World War I, produced 57,000 tonnes a year.
Yorketown is within comfortable driving distance of the rugged coastal scenery
around Innes National Park at the tip of the peninsula while the Daly Head
surfing beach is 50km to the west.
