About

The District Council of Peterborough is a local government area in the Yorke and Mid North region of South Australia. Located on the lands of the Ngadjuri people, the District Council of Peterborough covers an area of 3,020 km² and has a population just over 1,600 people.

Peterborough is the geographic heart of Australia and visitors still arrive from four corners – although they're usually hauling caravans rather than freight!

You'll be surprised by the beauty of the district, the plains of rolled gold running to ancient ranges. And you'll love the wide Main Street with its grand architecture, four pubs and shouts of 'G'day!' from the locals.

Matching a passion for the past with a zest for today, the people of Peterborough are ready to welcome visitors with one of the nation's finest heritage experiences, Steamtown, as well as other historic collections, artistic creativity, superb locally sourced food, love of country and fondness for a good yarn.
