Laura lies along Rocky River in South Australia's Mid North, where the watercourse and the approach to the southern Flinders Ranges have shaped it as a service town for surrounding grain and grazing country. Broad streets and low stone buildings give the compact centre a distinctly nineteenth-century character, while open farmland begins close to town. Laura is closely associated with Golden North, the South Australian ice-cream company founded here in 1923. The town also sits on the route between the Clare Valley and the Flinders Ranges, marking a transition towards drier, more rugged country to the north.
