Auburn
A stone-built town at the southern gateway to the Clare Valley, the southern starting point of the Riesling Trail and the hometown of poet C.J. Dennis.
Founded in 1849, Auburn was once a resting place for bullock teams hauling copper ore from the Burra mine. Many 19th-century stone cottages line its streets, and the whole area is listed as a state heritage precinct. Australian poet C.J. Dennis was born here, and the town has a memorial plaque and walking routes. The Riesling Trail begins near the old railway station, and you can hire bikes in town to ride north. Several wineries and boutique restaurants are located nearby.
