Around Town

The following images give something of an orientating snap shot for visitors, tourists and new arrivals. We are very proud of our town, with it's wide, brick paved walk ways, landscaped main street, ordered planning and everything you would expect to find in a country town that is unspoilt, natural, traditional and friendly, yet modern and progressive. Just what a vibrant country town should be. For more information, please visit the Mount Barker pages in the information section of our website.
