Yorke Peninsula

Discover Warooka, a charming gateway to Yorke Peninsula, just 228 kilometers west of Adelaide. This small town is a service center for the surrounding area and a perfect stopover en route to Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park.

Enjoy the coastal beauty with Flaherty's Beach and Hardwicke Bay, both a short drive away, offering sheltered shores for swimming and windsurfing. Unleash your creativity at Ballara Art & Lifestyle Retreat with art retreats and workshops, while Baker Bros Top Shop Gallery showcases local artisanal talent.

Experience the town's history, settled by wheat and sheep farmers in the 1850s, officially established in 1876, with Irish immigrants leaving a lasting mark. Marvel at the first Catholic Church's foundation stone laid in 1876 and visit the iconic Warooka Hotel built in 1877.

Embrace the warm community, stunning beaches, and artistic treasures in Warooka – a true gem on the Yorke Peninsula.

The Yorke Peninsula is the traditional lands of the Narungga (Nharangga) people, who have lived on, and cared for, this country since the beginning of time. We work, live and travel on Nharannga Banggara [Country], and we take time away from those pursuits to acknowledge and pay our deep respects to the Nharangga Elders of the past and present. 

Today, it is essential that we continue to care for and protect our spectacular natural environment. Tread lightly and leave no trace. Learn more about responsible and respectful travel on Yorke Peninsula.
