by Alison Smith

Loxton is a lovely town on the banks of the River Murray with about 7500 people. It is in South Australia, approximately 250kms from Adelaide.

Things to see while running:

1. Our huge Santa sits at the start of our Main Street welcoming visitors during the lead up to Christmas and over the New Year.

2. Lovely green Pioneer Park through the large medium strip on the highway through town.

3. Another view of the highway through town with it beautiful flowering jacarandas. 

4. The historic rotunda (with its lovely new roof) a great place for Australia Day celebrations and gives a great view of the main shopping strip.

5. The banks of the Murray River

It really is a lovely place to stop and visit if you are heading this way!!!
