Overview

Peterborough sits in South Australia’s wheat country on the Barrier Highway, offering a relaxed mid‑north lifestyle anchored by a rich railway heritage. The town centre boasts historic sites such as the Peterborough Town Hall, the Capitol Theatre and the former Peterborough Hotel, while families benefit from a primary school (established 1883) and a high school serving years 7‑12. Community amenities include a local radio station (5 PBS) and a weather station that has recorded the area’s climate since 1881, giving residents a strong sense of place and continuity.

Transport remains a key feature, with the Peterborough railway station still in operation and historically serving the east–west and north–south lines that once made the town a triple‑gauge junction. Heritage‑listed buildings like Koch House and the former police station illustrate the mix of historic dwellings and newer homes that characterise the suburb’s housing stock.
