Oakbank Heritage Walk
Discover the delightful village of Oakbank on this heritage walk. There are more than 40 sites for you to explore, all with numbered plaques and detailed in a brochure available from local businesses and the Adelaide Hills Council, Woodside.
The walk can be done at any time and may take up to an hour to complete.
See the Oakbank Racecourse, established in 1874. Thousands of people still come to the Oakbank Easter Racing Carnival each year. There's also Pike's Historic Brewery, founded by Henry Pike in 1886. See the heritage-listed brew tower and workshops, now home to the Oakbank Weaver.
Founded in 1840 by James Johnston of Campbelltown, Scotland, Oakbank was named after an area near Glasgow.
James and his brother, Andrew Galbraith Johnston, established their Oakbank brewery in 1843. The original building is on the bank of the Onkaparinga River and you can buy soft drinks there. Two former Johnston homes are listed on the State Heritage Register and may be viewed from the street during this walk.
