Join our celebration! 2018 marks 50 years of tourism for Rawnsley Park Station!

Rawnsley Park Station welcomed its first paying guests in May 1968, with the then owners Clem and Alison offering basic accommodation in one cabin and running sheep shearing demonstrations to generate extra income on the then struggling sheep station.

Fifty years later, Rawnsley Park Station is a world-class tourism venture that is a key player in South Australia’s tourism industry. Under the stewardship of Clem and Alison’s eldest son, Tony, and his wife, Julie, Rawnsley Park Station has won multiple tourism awards, and their luxury eco-villas have been lauded as one of the best regional tourism developments in the State.

Owner Tony Smith said his parents’ vision and foresight had laid the foundations for Rawnsley Park Station becoming the success story it is today.

“Times were tough on a sheep station in the Flinders Ranges in the 1960s, and Clem and Alison realised they had to diversify to survive,” he said. “It was a decision that paid off.

We certainly agree with you there, Tony! For more information, please contact Abbie on abbie@slcrepresentation.co.uk
