Willunga

Few towns in South Australia have a history as closely tied to slate quarrying as Willunga. At the southern foot of the Mount Lofty Ranges, it developed during the 19th century around farming, vineyards and quarries whose stone helped shape many local buildings. Willunga slate became a recognised South Australian material, and the former quarry area recalls an industry that left a lasting mark on the district. The town stands on the edge of the McLaren Vale wine region, while its Saturday farmers’ market brings regional growers and producers into the centre. The coast of Gulf St Vincent lies west on the Fleurieu Peninsula. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across South Australia.
