Destination Info
Discover the heart of the Barossa in Freeling, a welcoming town rich in heritage and perfectly positioned for journeys north from Gawler to Kapunda. More than just a stopover, Freeling invites you to explore its unique blend of history, charm, and community spirit.

Freeling's story begins in the 1840s with European settlement, growing into a vital hub for the region's agricultural industry. Golden wheat fields once dominated the landscape, with horse-drawn carts transporting grain, a continuing legacy still felt today.

Fans of McLeod's Daughters will find a special connection here, with filming locations scattered throughout the town. You can even spot the original bathtub from the show, nestled beneath the show's windmill.

Modern-day Freeling offers plenty to enjoy. Families can relax at ANZAC Park, a peaceful green space, plenty of parks with playgrounds for children and shaded areas for picnics. The town also provides a convenient RV dump point, making it a great stop for travellers exploring the region.

Stroll through local shops and cafés, soak in the relaxed atmosphere, and enjoy the blend of past and present that makes Freeling so special. Whether you're visiting for a day or staying longer, Freeling offers a warm welcome and memorable experiences.

Come and discover Freeling, where history lives and community thrives.
