SADDLEWORTH
Saddleworth is a small town encounted
when travelling from Auburn to Eudunda. Saddleworth is also a
crossroads town.
Heritage and looking after that history is very important at
Saddleworth.

The Museum is a classic
case in point. An old store on the Barrier Highway has been converted
into a museum which focuses on the history of Saddleworth and the
nearby towns of Waterloo, Marrabel, and Manoora. This is a must visit
for all visitors to Saddleworth. 
Saddleworth
is a small town in the Mid North region of South Australia. The town
is situated on the Gilbert River.
Saddleworth was originally
established as one of many settlements on the road to Burra, and was
named after Saddleworth Lodge pastoral station, a local
landholding which itself was named after a town of Saddleworth in
Yorkshire
The town has a Heritage
Walking Trail. At three km it provides an insight into the history of
the area.
The Catholic Church
overlooks the town. The site of the church is just amazing. The
Anglican
likewise is a great building. The United
and Lutheran
a little more modern.
The Gilbert Valley Hotel 
opposite the Museum is over a 100 years old and worth a look. The
other is modern.
The Saddle worth War
Memorial is at the T point on the intersection and gets a great
profile.
Saddleworth deserves more
than a cursory look over. If you visit the museum allow over half a
day.
