Door Table is back this August.

Our very first Door Table was a quiet one—but it was everything we hoped it would be.

The conversations around the table were warm. One lovely lady stopped to take a photo of our Door Table sign, and two gentlemen quietly rounded up their bill to support the idea. Little moments like these remind us that kindness is alive and well in our community.

Door Table is about opening our door a little wider, sharing a meal, and giving what you can, if you can.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and believed in this little idea.

We'd love to welcome you to our next Door Table in August. Come on your own, bring a friend, order what you like, and simply pay what you can.

☔ It's Sunday and it's raining outside... so why not make a day of discovering Kapunda's fascinating history! ☔

Start your day at the Light Country Visitor Information Centre, open from 9:00am to 1:00pm, where you can explore the FREE Sir Sidney Kidman Exhibition and the Taste of the Region Interpretive Display.

Then head over to the Kapunda Historical Society Museum, open from 1:00pm to 4:00pm, and step back in time to uncover the stories, people and events that shaped our community.

Your museum entry fee also includes admission to:

⛏️ Bagot's Fortune - discover Kapunda's rich mining heritage and learn about Australia's oldest commercial copper mining town.
🎖️ Kapunda Remembers - explore Kapunda's wartime history and learn about the local men and women who answered the call to serve.

There's something for everyone, and kids love the museum, with plenty of fascinating displays and stories to discover.

Why not complete your visit with a drive around Kapunda's 10km Heritage Trail, taking in the town's historic buildings, landmarks, and unique heritage sites?

And while you're here, make the most of your day in Kapunda! Grab a coffee, visit one of our local bakeries, enjoy some delicious Vietnamese cuisine at Com Viet, or settle in for a hearty meal and a cold beer at one of our friendly local country pubs.
A rainy Sunday is the perfect opportunity to explore, learn, eat, relax, and enjoy everything Kapunda has to offer.

We look forward to welcoming you today!

Twenty-five years ago today Tess McLeod rocked up at Drovers Run in her orange volksy.

South Aussies were glued to the box, with the 8x Logie winning drama filmed on home soil 🌱🐮

Who was your McLeods crush?

While red wine may be our most famous export, it would be hard to deny the impact which one network TV series has had on ushering in a whole new generation of tourists to the greater Barossa region – and today will mark 25 years since McLeod’s Daughters made its premiere on Australian television...
