Wirrabara Producers Market | Third Sunday

About this market

The Wirrabara Producers Market is held on the third Sunday of each month, usually from 8:30am to 12pm, on High Street in Wirrabara. Wikipedia's description of the town mentions the producers' market on the third Sunday, and the town's official website lists the same schedule.

A timber town in the Southern Flinders Ranges

Wirrabara sits along the Rocky River in the Southern Flinders Ranges, about 235 kilometres north of Adelaide, with a population of 403 at the 2016 census. A timber milling industry began in the early 1850s, the town was surveyed in 1874, and in 1877 the first government forest nursery in Australia was planted nearby. The name comes from the Kaurna words wirra (gum trees) and birra (running water).

The market is for producers. One listing calls it a genuine producers-only market, with items from fresh and dried fruit and meats to superb olive oils and baked goods. Listed facilities include a barbecue, cafe, car park, coach parking and a public toilet, and tourism listings give entry as free. Locals pronounce the town's name Rabra. The railway reached Wirrabara in the 1910s on the Wilmington line, and the Wirrabara Range Conservation Park is nearby. In the Nukunu language, wira and parl refers to gum trees with honey and water, and the town still has a timber industry and a farming community. The town was surveyed in 1874.
