Karoonda
Surveyed in 1910, Karoonda is Aboriginal for "winter camp". By 1914 the town had grown dramatically and became a thriving railway town by the 1920s.
Karoonda is an important farming region for wheat and sheep. The big Merino ram is a valued symbol of the town that sits near the railway years and highlights the importance of sheep farming in the district. Another point of interest in Karoonda is Pioneer Park. You can stroll around the park which is a fascinating collection of early mallee memorabillia including buildings, railway information, farming and machinery, signage and much more. You can also begin several bushwalks from here.
Karoonda also has a very well established Farm Fair. The 2 day festival is run annually in April and well worth a visit as the town comes alive.
Karoonda Pioneer Park
The Karoonda Pioneer Park represents original artifacts of the area. The way of life of the district's pioneer period from 1910 through to 1950 and prior to that Agricultural era reference to the Pastoral era from 1850 through to 1890, Aboriginal culture and natural history. The adjacent Nature Trail and Bush Walk is a reminder of the landscape of the region.
KAROONDA SILO ART
Visit Australia’s first silo art display that can be experienced both day and night.
The Karoonda Silo Art combines a unique mix of large-scale mural for daytime viewing with colourful art projections that bring the giant grain silos to life at night.
Created by renowned Australian street artist Heesco, the painted mural celebrates Karoonda’s rural lifestyle, pristine environment and agricultural heritage.
By night, an ever-changing display of art from South Australian artists lights up the main street attraction. The projection artworks are continually changing, meaning there’s always something new to see.
Rain, hail or shine, the projection shows run all year, every evening from sunset for up to three hours.
In 2021 the Karoonda Silo Art won 1st prize (Gold) in the Mega Mural category at the Australian Street Art Awards, and also won the “Best of the Best” in the awards.
