Minlaton is situated 197 km west of Adelaide and 88m above sea level. It is the main service centre for the surrounding rural districts. Offering a variety of facilities for travellers venturing to the 'bottom end' of Yorke Peninsula, Minlaton is a picturesque township with wide welcoming streets.
The town was originally named Gum Flat because it is the only area of the Southern Yorke Peninsula where red gums grow naturally. The name was changed to Minlaton which is derived from the local Aboriginal word 'minlacowie' which means 'sweet water'.
The area was settled in the 1870’s by farmers who found the conditions ideal for growing wheat and barley and the grazing of sheep. Today the small township promotes itself as 'The Barley Capital of the World' and offers many facilities for locals and tourists alike.

Western Grey Kangaroos and Emus are long-time favourites at the park and the area's diverse bird life attracts plenty of interest, especially from keen birdwatchers, with over 90 species of birds including Mallee Fowls, shy Western Whipbirds, White-bellied Sea-eagles and Ospreys.
Wildflowers create rich colour when they blossom during spring and autumn. Coastal shrubland comes alive with Cockies Tongue; Common Fringe-myrtle; Coastal White Mallee and Wattle.
Explore the remains of the historic heritage-listed Inneston village where gypsum used to be mined. It has 12 houses, a restored post office building and the ruins of what were once the store, factory, bakery, and stables. Gypsum was originally mined at Inneston and then transported along a railway line to the jetty at Stenhouse Bay.
