Timber Creek Pine Kangaroo Island Speed Shears

PARNDANA TOWNSHIP

Parndana, place of little gums, is the hub for the heartland of Kangaroo Island. Centrally located, it provides convenient access to the north and south coasts.

The Soldier Settlement Scheme, which began in 1948, almost doubles the area of agricultural land on the Island. The Soldier Settlement Museum located in the old RSL Hall provides a historical display of the early years and the development of the Islands heartland by returned soldiers.

Often described as a typical Australian country town, Parndana has a small shopping centre and bakery, churches, a newly renovated Hotel and the museum. Take time to look around the area as it is an ideal habitat for native flora and fauna. Wildlife can often be seen on road verges and, in late winter and spring, they are covered with wildflowers.

Local facilities include barbecue and playground.
