Wakefield Region
The Wakefield region spans grain and sheep farms north of Adelaide and includes towns like Balaklava, known for its horse racing track and annual music eisteddfod. The Wakefield River meanders through the countryside, and historic mills and churches dot the landscape. Locals fish at a secluded weir under river red gums and enjoy locally made smoked bacon from a butcher tucked away down a laneway.
Council has an approximate area of 3,500 km².
