A rural service town on the southern Hills plateau
On the high southern plateau of the Adelaide Hills, Meadows is a working rural town set among some of the region's best dairy and grazing country. It's the kind of unpretentious country centre where farmers and day-trippers share the bakery counter.
The town has a long agricultural history, celebrated each year at the Meadows Country Fair, and its surrounds supply milk to well-known Hills cheese and dairy producers. A historic pub, general store and bakery cover the essentials.
Meadows makes a natural hub for exploring the quieter southern Hills, including the road south toward Prospect Hill, Ashbourne and the Fleurieu.
