Visitor Information

e acknowledge that the Peramangk, Ngadjuri & Kaurna people are the traditional custodians of the

Barossa region and have an ongoing connection to the land.South Australia’s first surveyor general Colonel Light visited the Barossa area in 1837 and he named the range “Barrosa Range” after the Barrosa Ridge in Cadiz Spain, the site of a

1811 British Army advance. A clerical error led to the spelling of Barossa being used in official South Australian documents.

By 1839 Johannes Menge had written to George Fife Angas and referred to the area as Neu Schlesian (New Silesia). The German settlers from Silesia, Posen and

Brandenburg, also referred to the Barossa District as New Silesia until at least the mid-19th century. In time the name Barossa was used not just for the magnificent range to the

south east of the valley floor but to the entire region.

The Barossa has many wineries, vineyards and experiences that are important

to the history of the region. Many hold a Barossa Trust Mark. Discover their

contribution to our heritage. For more information please go to

ABORIGINAL HERITAGEThe Peramangk, Ngadjuri and Kaurna people are the traditional custodians of the Barossa region. They share the songline Dreamingof Tjirbruki, and of Juredla, the Fire and Water Man (also known asYurebilla or Nganno) whose body became the Mount Lofty Ranges. Peramangk country is mainly in the strip of red gum that runs from the Adelaide Hills through to Angaston. Ngadjuri country is in thepeppermint box areas found to the north. Kaurna country is to the west of Lyndoch and south to Gawler and the Adelaide Plains.3, 5

Shared practices of the Peramangk, Ngadjuri and Kaurna includedcontrolled fire techniques to promote perennial grasslands and abundant food resources of seeds and tubers. They also used dry stone hides for bird and game hunting, lived in wurlie and rock shelters and dug wells widely across the region. Trade of goods with each other and groups from further afield occurred regularly.

The Peramangk used fire to hollow out shelters in carefully selectedriver red gum eucalypts. An outstanding specimen is the Herbig Family Tree at Springton which also has scarring from where canoes and shields were cut.5 A walk through the Kaiser Stuhl, Para Wirra, Hale or Warren Conservation Parks provides an experience of the landscape and vegetation common across the Barossa for thousands of years.

EARLY SETTLEMENTThe colonisation of South Australia was based on Wakefield’s theory of free settlement and land ownership for all.

Once the site of Adelaide was fixed by Colonel Light in 1836, exploration and claiming of lands to the north began in earnest. There were two initial ways of claiming land. One was through pastoral leases, the other was the purchase of special surveys. On the glowing recommendation of geologist Johannes Menge, Charles Flaxman, a clerk of George Fife Angas, was able to purchase seven special surveys or 28,000 acres of land in the Barossa region.

Menge had described the area as, “The cream, the real cream, and nothing but the cream of South Australia.” Flaxman retained some of the land acquired for Angas. Other prominent gentlemen made claims such as Charles Bagot and Francis Dutton who purchased an area that would become Kapunda and Australia’s first copper mine.6

Flaxman’s land purchases placed George Fife Angas in a difficult financial position. However, in a philanthropic but ultimately successful gesture, he leased Bethany and other large tracts of the Barossa Valley to German settlers fleeing religious persecution. While the English tended to rely heavily on one crop, such as wheat or livestock, the Germans were particularly adept at building self-sufficient Hufendorf farms that had many different crops including grapes, livestock, wheat, fruit and vegetables.

ANGASTON, PENRICE, MOCULTA & KEYNETONOriginally known as German Pass, Angaston was named after South Australian Company founding member George Fife Angas. Angaston has long been known as a centre of commerce, agriculture, orchards, vineyards, stately homes and pastoral runs. Today it is the site of thriving racehorse, orchard and vineyard businesses, with a great café culture and a number of sites representing times past, including the Angas family home of Collingrove and Doddridge Blacksmith. Take a wander along the main street and admire the wonderful stone buildings in the streetscape. Past the old Union Chapel is Penrice, a Cornish mining settlement. A number of Cornish cottages remain today. The nearby townships of Keyneton and Moculta have retained picturesque landscapes, historic pastoral homesteads, dry stone walls, beautiful churches and cemeteries.HIGHLIGHTS: Angaston Town Walk, Doddridge Blacksmith Shop, Historic Rose Garden, Houses and Orchards, Kidman Trail, Lavender Federation Trail, Mining History, Churches and Cemeteries, Old Union Chapel, Keyneton Heritage Trail.

TANUNDA, BETHANY, LANGMEIL & VINE VALETanunda is an Aboriginal word meaning waterhole or creek.7 Some of the Barossa’s earliest settlements are found on the outskirts of the town in Bethany and Langmeil. Tanunda is a beautiful town that retains a number of traditional landscapes, including the Hufendorf land division found around Bethany. Take time to inspect the beautiful Lutheran church architecture of the town and the heritage markers. Tanunda hosts the Barossa Regional Gallery, Hill and Son Organ, Barossa Museum, Barossa Visitor Centre and numerous historic landscapes, kegel bowling, wineries, vineyards and traditional bakeries, butchers and artisans. Many hold Barossa Trust Marks.The Barossa Scenic Heritage Drive starts at the Barossa Visitor Centre. HIGHLIGHTS: Tanunda Town Walk, Hill and Son Organ, Bethany Town Walk, Langmeil Church and Cemetery, Barossa Museum, Historic Wineries, Vine Vale Vineyards.

NURIOOTPA, LIGHT PASS & SIEGERSDORFThe area of Nuriootpa has a long history of use by the Ngadjuri and Peramangk people, who regarded the North Para River as a natural boundary. Nuriootpa is derived from an Aboriginal word “Nguraitpa” which means “the neck country” and is a reference to the Dreamtime story of Yurebilla, a giant whose body became the Mount Lofty Ranges. Large numbers of Peramangk and Ngadjuri people were observed gathering in the neck country of Nuriootpa in the early days of settlement.1, 8, 9

Known as Angas Park when settled by Europeans from the mid 1840s, Nuriootpa was officially laid out by William Coulthard in 1855. Today Nuriootpa is a thriving business centre. Highlights are original German smallgoods and wine industry icons as well as the Barossa Bushgardens with its repository of native vegetation. Family history researchers won’t want to miss a visit to the History Room at the Barossa Library. Nearby are historic Light Pass with its cemeteries and Luhrs Cottage, and Siegersdorf cemetary at Dorrien.HIGHLIGHTS: Nuriootpa Town Walk, Barossa Bushgardens, Barossa Local History Room, Aboriginal History, Penfolds Wines, Luhrs Cottage, Siegersdorf Cemetery.

LYNDOCH, HOFFNUNGSTHAL, WILLIAMSTOWN & BAROSSA GOLDFIELDSLyndoch was named by Colonel Light in 1837 after his friend Lord Lynedoch. In December 1839 resident manager of the South Australian Company David McLaren claimed the Lyndoch Valley Special Survey. Dr William Browne became the first settler on Section 501, known today as Pioneer Reserve. By September 1840 Lyndoch was reported to be a thriving settlement with the number of inhabitants amounting to one hundred souls and was the first settlement in the Barossa.Ngadjuri, Kaurna and Peramangk people used the area widely before European settlement. They warned the settlers that after heavy rain, water flowed where they were making their fields. This advice was ignored and after thunderstorms in 1853, Hoffnungsthal was under 2.5 metres of water.10 You can still visit the site of the failed settlement today. Today Lyndoch is a small thriving town on the southern side of the Barossa. It remains blessed with fertile soils and beautiful views of the Barossa Range. Nearby Altona Scrub is a great place to see some local birdlife. Just outside of Williamstown is the famous Whispering Wall and the Barossa Goldfields Museum and interpretive trail. Gold was indeed found here in the 1860s.HIGHLIGHTS: Lyndoch Town Walk, Lyndoch Historical Society Museum, Pioneer Reserve, Hoffnungsthal Village Site,Whispering Wall, Barossa Goldfields Museum and Interpretive Trail.

MOUNT PLEASANT, SPRINGTON & EDEN VALLEY The first Europeans, led by James Phillis and Henry Giles arrived in the 1840s, establishing the townships of Totness and Mount Pleasant. Mount Pleasant has many fine examples of grand stone buildings. Call into the Mount Pleasant District History Room to discover more

about the region. Nearby are the towns of Springton and Eden Valley. Springton is home to the Friedensberg German School and the Herbig Family Tree. A family lived in this tree! The Peramangk people had trade routes through the Eden Valley area and on to the Murray River. The Eden Valley Lookout has spectacular views across the valley. HIGHLIGHTS: Eden Valley Lookout, Dry Stone Walls, Herbig Family Tree, Friedensberg German School and Cemetery, Mount Pleasant District History Room, Jutland Soldier Settlement.

SEPPELTSFIELD, GREENOCK & KAPUNDA Seppeltsfield, Marananga and Greenock are located on the edge of the Barossa and are famed for the ancient red soil of their old shiraz vineyards and the winery the Seppelt family established. Today you can take a heritage tour and marvel at the palm tree lined roads that kept winery workers employed during the Great Depression. Kapunda is notable as the site of the first copper mine in Australia and the home of Sir Sidney Kidman, Australia’s largest pastoralist. Just outside of Kapunda is Anlaby Station, once the magnificent home of the Dutton Family. The name Kapunda was derived from “kappieoonda” - a Ngadjuri expression for ‘water jumping out’.2 There are many natural springs dotted around the township which feed into the Light River. The beautiful churches on Branson Crescent are testament to the wealth of the town in days gone by. HIGHLIGHTS: Seppeltsfield Wines, Seppelt Family Mausoleum, Greenock Aviation Museum, Kapunda Mine Site, Map the Miner.

KRONDORF, GOMERSAL, ROWLAND FLAT, ROSEDALE & GAWLERDriving between Tanunda, Lyndoch and Gawler there are both vineyards and wineries, but tucked away are the farming settlements of Gomersal, Rowland Flat and Rosedale. Rowland Flat is best known as the site of the Gramp Family Winery, later Jacob’s Creek. It is also well known as being the base from which Johannes Menge surveyed the prospects for the area prior to settlement. Gawler is the oldest township in South Australia with many impressive buildings. The town was an important commercial centre in the early days of the colony.HIGHLIGHTS: Schoenborn Cemetery, Rockford Wines, Jacob’s Creek Walking Trails, Gomersal Heritage Drive, Rosedale Scenic Drive, Gawler Museum, Gawler Walking Trail.

T he Peramangk, Ngadjuri and Kaurna people are the traditional custodians of the Barossa region. The vine filled valley floor of today was once an ancient flood

plain. Gum trees and scrub grew thickly on soils that ranged from sand on the valley floor, to ancient red soils of western Barossa and fertile, arable soils found from Angaston through to Lyndoch.

Europeans of British and German descent arrived in the area around 1839, three years after the proclamation of South Australia. George Fife Angas, one of the founding members of the South Australian Company and an important early land-holder in the region, was instrumental in bringing the first wave of German settlers led by Pastor August Kavel to the Barossa. These settlers, who had left a climate of religious persecution in their homeland, were industrious, religious and productive. English, Cornish, Scottish, Welsh and Irish settlers also came in great numbers, farming and mining near Angaston and Kapunda.

The stories of the past are everywhere in the Barossa, in the vineyards, festivals, our town and nature walks, museums and galleries, organs and music, unique residences and settler buildings. You will find long established and trailblazing wineries, butcher, baker, blacksmith shops and other traditional artisans still at work today. There are glimpses (or perhaps ghosts!) in our cemeteries, churches, lookouts, school buildings and even kegel.

To help you on your way, the Barossa Regional Heritage Network has compiled a map of major, accessible Barossa historical attractions. There are symbols to highlight what you will find there. You might even like to spend some time trying out one of the local suggested itineraries. If you don’t have much time, start with the Barossa Scenic Heritage Drive highlighted in green.
