Info
Echunga is an attractive little township in the Adelaide Hills, it is 34 kilometres south-east of Adelaide in South Australia. It is located in the midst of fertile acres with cattle and horses grazing.
The area was first settled in 1839, with the town laid out in 1849. Gold was discovered in 1852 and Echunga became the first declared goldfield in South Australia.
Today, just outside Echunga township, both the Old Echunga Diggings and the Jupiter Creek Diggings are heritage sites and historic reserves where fossicking is still allowed. The township also annually hosts the Echunga Picnic Races.
