Looking for some walking trails other than the Heysen? Check out the Clare Valley W**e & Wilderness Trail. As the name suggests, it winds its way through quite a few of Clare Valley’s amazing vineyards.
The views are amazing, trails exceptionally well marked and can be broken down into smaller, easily achievable walks.
And while it doesn’t go past the front door of Kooringa Cottage, it’s only a short drive away.

Some awesome Burra history.

Repost:
Where did Burra's mining history begin?...here, at Diprose Creek where Thomas Pickett was herding sheep as a shepherd. Thomas lived in a little hut along the creek which edges the surrounding hills.
He would later discover copper in 1845 and inspire the creation of the monster mine.
Diprose Creek is a beautiful winding line in the landscape today that has carved a remarkable history for Burra.

Come on up to Burra and learn how to make your own sourdough bread.

🍞 **Warning: This class may result in a lifelong sourdough obsession!** 🤭

Always wanted to bake your own sourdough but not sure where to start? I'd love to show you how!

There are still a few spots available in my next **Sourdough Beginner's Class**, where we'll turn flour, water, salt and a little patience into something pretty amazing.

You'll learn:
🥖 How to look after your sourdough starter
🥖 Mixing, stretching, folding and shaping your dough
🥖 Scoring and baking a beautiful crusty loaf
🥖 Plenty of tips and tricks to help you bake with confidence at home

No experience needed—just bring your enthusiasm (and maybe a love of carbs 😉).

Come along for a fun, relaxed class, meet fellow bread lovers, and leave feeling inspired to fill your kitchen with the smell of fresh sourdough.

✨ There are only a few places left, so if you've been thinking about it, now's the perfect time!

Head to https://frugalcountryhome.com/events to your spot. I can't wait to bake with you!

Here’s another activity within easy reach of Burra. Bring your bike or just go for a stroll. It’s an easy track and beautiful farming country scenery.

Here's a map of the Eudunda Hampden Rail Trail. Park at the Eudunda Silo Art Carpark. After viewing the silo art, follow the trail through the Eudunda Centenary Gardens to Kapunda Street. From there, follow the compressed gravel trail through to Julia Road near Hampden. The section from Julia Road through to the former Hampden Railway Station is not yet complete but we're working on it!
