As many would be aware, SA is holding the Oz Mega 2014 but where is it going to be. This series will highlight some towns in SA that may or maybe not the location for the 2014 Oz Mega.
Bordertown is the gateway to the State's eastern border. Situated on the Dukes Highway, Bordertown is 280km from Adelaide and 450km from Melbourne.
The Bordertown Visitor Information Centre is an addition to the old police station which can be clearly seen from inside the building.
The town was established in 1852 adjacent to the Tatiara Creek and was the site of a base camp created by Police Inspector Alexander Tolmer who was in charge of the gold escorts from the Victorian Goldfields to Adelaide. These historic escorts saved the infant state of South Australia from bankruptcy. Their importance is recognised by the granite stone markers and plaques along the gold route.
