Riverton: OZEDH - Edge Hill -> Windsock East
Riverton combines a quiet farming character with the heritage of an inland township in a way that reflects its position in South Australia’s Mid North. Beside the Gilbert River, it stands in broad cereal country between the Mount Lofty Ranges and the Clare Valley. Surveyed in 1856, Riverton developed as a local service centre for surrounding rural districts, and its nineteenth-century main street still gives the settlement a compact, practical focus. Open paddocks, tree belts and unsealed lanes define the countryside beyond town, where the ranges begin to give way to the drier plains of the state’s interior. Riverton is a useful stopping point for exploring the southern approaches to the Clare Valley and smaller Mid North communities.
