Minlaton is a lovely little country town in the middle of the Yorke Peninsula and is apparently known as the "Barley Capital of the World". Vast fields of Barley can be seen as you enter town a it amazed us to see these crops growing close to the ocean in some areas. This town has a lovely main street with beautiful gardens created on the median strips - plenty of parking when towing the caravan.
The Minlaton Cabin and Caravan Parks is easy to find as you enter town with plenty of open space in a bush setting with plenty of shade. This caravan park is opposite the HJ Cook Fauna Park on Maitland Road - neat and tidy with a warm country welcome. The ‘Red Devil” aeroplane is housed in a special display room at the Captain Harry Butler Memorial - also on Maitland Road. They even have an award winning chocolatier and coffee roaster in town but unfortunately it was closed the day we passed through.
Minlaton is a great place to base yourself to explore this part of South Australia and is within easy driving distance of major attractions like Innes National Park, Corny Point Lighthouse and Moonta Mines Museum - not to mention great beaches and fishing spots.
