We’re introducing a new series, 'Loved by Locals', where we share some of our favourite places right here in the Goyder region.

And we’d love your help.

If you’re a local out exploring your backyard, don’t forget to tag us in your photos or send them through to the Burra & Goyder Visitor Information Centre. We’d love to share your favourite spots and help inspire others to discover the region through local eyes.

Looking for a simple adventure close to home?

Have you ever made the walk up to Mount Bryan Summit?

Just a short 15-minute drive from Burra, this local favourite is well worth the effort. If you’re feeling a bit more adventurous, you can even follow sections of the Heysen Trail from Burra.

The walk to the top takes around 1.5 to 3 hours, and once you’re there… it’s something special. Take a seat, catch your breath, and watch the landscape stretch out around you.

Even better? Pack a picnic and enjoy it at the top.

With rising fuel costs, it’s a great reminder that some of the best experiences are right here in our own backyard.

Who would have thunk it!
Here is one half of the Burra Hotel management team as you've never seen her before. Greer Kelly, also known as 'Gi Gi' is shown here as a child appearing on the Channel 9 children's show 'Here's Humphrey'. The lovable (but silent) bear was well known by children and adults for decades. Greer made several episodes with Humphrey as did her sister Belinda. Here are a few shots from an episode where she makes a carrot cake assisted by her dad (Andy) and Humphrey B Bear. Everyone should have at least one claim to fame!
