Description of region
Jamestown is located North of Adelaide in South Australia. Jamestown is 209km north of Adelaide. Although grain and legumes are highly profitable crops, wool has long been the dominant product in these parts and Jamestown’s monthly sheep sales are the largest in rural South Australia. The town’s development is colourfully portrayed on a series of shopside murals.

Regional Highlights

  • The Jamestown Show
    Family fun held on the October long weekend

  • The Laura Folk Fair 
    A unique two day event held annually on the first full weekend in April (unless it should clash with Easter when it becomes the second weekend). Hughes Street in the town of Laura is closed to all vehicular traffic and is lined with craft, hobby, food and refreshment stalls, becoming a Mall in which visitors may wander.
