Located in the Barossa Ranges towards the eastern end of the valley. There is a strong German influence in the area. A man called George Fife Angas was one of the founding fathers of South Australia who sponsored many of the Germanic settlers who came to the valley. Angaston's principal activities involve dried fruit and it is also where you will find two of the oldest vineyards in Barossa.

Natural Attractions

The town has two very pleasant parks plus a pretty creek that runs through the centre.

Historical Attractions

Collingrove Homestead was constructed in 1854 for J.H. Angas and today, it is amongst the National Trust's listed houses. It is set in English gardens with much of the original exterior remaining the same as it was back in its earliest days. This includes the coach house and stables which have hardly altered at all over the years.

Other Attractions

Dried fruit being as important on the town as it is, a visit there would not be complete without a trip to the Angas Park Dried Fruits Centre. The town has been involved in this activity since as far back as 1911 and today the centre alone accounts for over 50% of all dried tree fruit produced in Australia.

The town's cemetery is worth a visit. It is where you will find the final resting place of two characters, 'The Dandy' and' the Quiet Stockman' who appeared in Jeannie Gunn's 'We of the Never-Never'.
