Mount Torrens & Districts Community Association invite you to

join us in Mount Torrens every weekend throughout May for a special double celebration — South Australia’s History Festival and the launch of our brand new Walking App!

Visit our exhibition, “Tracks of Change: From Trains to Treadlies,” celebrating the old Balhannah - Mount Pleasant railway to the almost completed Amy Gillett Bikeway extension from Mount Torrens to Birdwood.

Did you know Mount Torrens is the only State Heritage Town in the Adelaide Hills Council?

This is your chance to explore its rich stories like never before through a digital, interactive, self-guided walking tour. There’s even a special kids’ version with a fun quiz! It’s history brought to life — right in the palm of your hand.

Step into the past. Walk into the future.
