Do you love the country? You love being part of a small community but also relish meeting new people every day. Welcome to Hawker.
Hawker is a great place. It has a great lifestyle and is a great tourist town.
Hawker is the true outback, but only 365km north of Adelaide. It is an ideal base for tourists to explore the beautiful Flinders Rangers, and they come in their droves.
The town itself is well appointed, having a hospital, police, general store, 3 fuel outlets, 3 mechanical shops, café, motel, Hawker Hotel Motel, caravan park, many farm stays, and self-contained accommodation. The town also has many tourist attractions, including heritage-listed buildings, the bush pilots nestled in the old post office, a restaurant in the old Ghan Railway station, the old Catholic Church, and the Aroona Dam.
Hawker is a favorite base for film companies with its easy access to much of the Flinders Ranges attractions that surround Hawker in all directions. Explore the historical mining town of Blinman with its famed mine tours, Parachilna, Quorn, and the Pichi Richi Railway, the magnificent Wilpena Pound, Lake Torrens, Arkaroola, Leigh Creek, and the stunning Brachina, Bunyeroo, and Parachilna Georges. Take a scenic flight. Stop over on the way out of the Strezlecki or Birdsville tracks. Walk the Heysen Trail or cycle the Mawson Trail.
The Hawker Hotel Motel is a substantial property that you would feel proud to own. It is a well-rounded business comprising a bar, bottle shop, dining room, bistro, licensed veranda, 9 gaming machines, backpackers and managers accommodation, a beer garden, guest laundry, and 20 well-appointed motel rooms, all on a large area of land with many good sheds.
