Walking Around Mount Barker
The local Tourist Information Office has a number of brochures for people eager to explore the area. There is a very good walking tour which lists over 30 historic buildings in the centre of the town.
Dunn's Flour Mill
Completed in 1844 this historic mill, which closed down in 1894, still stands and is used as a coffee shop and restaurant today.
Mount Barker Summit
Accessed by Springs Road from the centre of town or the Mount Barker Summit road from Nairne, this is one of the best views in the hills. On a clear day it is possible to see Mount Lofty in the north and Lake Alexandrina in the south-east from its 517 metre elevation. There is a stone cairn on the top which tells visitors that the mountain was originally known as Wommu mu Kutra to the local Aborigines and that it was an ancient burial site.
