About Gawler

More than 20,000 people live in the Town of Gawler, 42 km north of Adelaide, enjoying the best of both worlds – a little bit country, a little bit metropolitan.

South Australia prides itself on heritage and that’s why Gawler is so important to the state, because it was planned by Adelaide’s famous town planner, Colonel William Light. Make sure you leave enough time on your next visit to wander past heritage shops, buildings and homes, to catch a glimpse of our colonial past.
