Heritage Places
The key to unlocking some of South Australia's culture and history lies in heritage-listed towns like Port Adelaide, beautiful old buildings like Martindale Hall, and homes such as The Cedars, once haven to legendary artist Sir Hans Heysen.
In South Australia, you can stroll down streetscapes that speak of eras gone by. Whole suburbs - even towns - are heritage listed, and when you'll visit you'll see why.
In the town of Burra, you'll actually receive a key in the palm of your hand - your key to the Burra Heritage Passport trail. It opens eight locked sites, including the Monster Mine area, Redruth Gaol, underground Unicorn Brewery cellars and the Dugouts. It's all part of the special welcome you'll receive in South Australia.
