Most places on the Heritage Trail date back to the 19850s and 1860s. On the tour you will explore the Old Post Office which was erected in 1865 and later became the Divisional Headquarters of the Police Department. Nowadays, it is the Wallaroo Heritage and Nautical Museum. Come here to be amazed at the various nautical artefacts and objects which are classed as one of the best collections in South Australia.

Another great historical building to visit is the Wallaroo Primary School. This beautiful building dates back to 1861 but an arson attack in 2006 almost completely destroyed it. It has since, however, been magnificently restored and stands tall and proud once more.

The Wallaroo Mining and Smelting Company made the town famous in the past and the chimney stacks you see today are all that remains above ground.
