RIVERTON - The HEART of the CLARE & GILBERT VALLEY

WE'RE HERE ... WHERE ARE YOU?

ENJOY A DRIVE AND VISIT ONE OF THE AREAS IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA

WITH LOADS OF CHARACTER AND AMBIENCE.

Where people are still friendly and will give you the time of day... an area

growing and developing with a rich culture of hospitality.

In the HEART of the Clare and Gilbert Valley lays the township of RIVERTON.

Set amongst the rolling hills and valleys, a town of gentle charm and history,

is only a 90 minute drive from Adelaide. The town owes its establishment to James

 Masters who stepped ashore on Kangaroo Island before the

proclamation of South Australia as a colony.  A town rich in agricultural history with

 many of the original buildings and cottages a feature of early architecture, evident

amongst tree-lined streets that dominate the township.

This vibrant, unassuming country town is the largest in the Valley with a history

 based around the development of the Railway line to Burra in 1869. 

This delightful town continues to thrive as the commercial centre of a rich farming

 district with the local community active in preserving many of its significant heritage

 buildings.
