Step Back in Time & Breathe Deep at The Pines!

Uncover Kapunda’s hidden gem – The Pines Conservation Reserve! This tranquil escape boasts a rich history, starting as a forestry plantation in the 1880s. While the last pines were harvested in 1931, remnants of the past stand proudly alongside a reservoir that supplied the town with water for nearly 80 years!

Abundant Nature: Breathe in the fresh air and listen to the calming whisper of the wind through the gum trees. Keep your eyes peeled for delicate wildflowers dotting the landscape.
