Riverton: OZEDH - Edge Hill -> Facing East
Riverton lies along the Gilbert River in South Australia’s Mid North, broad grain fields, low rises and shelterbelts shape the farming country around it. Established in 1856, the town developed as a service centre for the surrounding agricultural district and retains a traditional main-street character. Riverton sits within a region associated with cereal cultivation and grazing, where unsealed lanes connect scattered farms and small settlements. Its former rail connection is recalled by the Rattler Trail, a walking and cycling route following the old railway corridor between Riverton and Auburn. The Gilbert Valley is open, working country rather than a resort setting, defined by long-established rural land use.
