Peterborough



Peterborough was a hero of the 20th century - a hissing, steaming hub of mighty locomotives sitting at the crossroads of a growing nation.

Today, the spring skies are china blue, the kids no longer have to wipe the clothes-lines clean of soot and the only whistles are from birds among the wildflowers. But Peterborough is still the geographic heart of Australia and visitors still arrive from four corners - although they are usually hauling caravans rather than freight!

This mobile guide presents two self drive itineraries to help you make the most of your time in Peterborough. Each has a map with GPS support, and a list of the attractions which we recommend you see if you are staying with us.

We hope that you enjoy your time in Peterborough, and encourage you to do yourself a favour and do us the honour to..stay an Extra Day!
