About the Town :

The oldest town in the Limestone Coast, it has strong religious significance as a place where Mary McKillop ‘a saint for all Australians' co founded the Congregation of Sisters of Saint Joseph with Father Julian Tenison Woods, a priest and scientist. It is also the Southern gateway to the famous Coonawarra wine region. Arguably one of the finest wine districts in Australia, the Coonawarra's secret lies in the rich red Terra Rosa soil, pure underground water and a long cool ripening season.
