Overview

Laura is a vibrant artistic rural community beside the Rocky River and the rolling hills of the Southern Flinders Ranges. The town’s calendar includes the volunteer‑run Laura Fair each April and regular markets at the Laura Memorial Civic Centre, while the Laura Community Development and Tourism Association operates a community‑owned caravan park and reinvests its profits locally. Historic charm is highlighted by the former Laura Courthouse, listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.

The town sits on the Horrocks Highway, only 12 km north of Gladstone and 40 km east of Port Pirie, giving easy road access. Although passenger rail ceased in 1969 and the Wilmington line closed in 1990, Laura remains well connected by car and offers essential services such as Laura Primary School and the Golden North ice‑cream factory, the district’s largest employer since 1923 (relocation announced for 2025).
