Wheat and women have put the town of Freeling firmly on the map, cementing its place in both reflective and modern history.

Freeling is the 'home' of Australian TV show McLeod's Daughters and the Gungellan Hotel. It's a quaint rural town with many historical buildings. You can wander the heritage streets at leisure, or follow the walking trail and learn about Freeling's rich farming history.

A growing number of visitors are heading straight for the Gungellan Hotel - as seen by fans of McLeod's Daughters in some 100 countries. The pub and streets of Freeling featured regularly in the McLeod shooting schedules, with nearby Kapunda and Roseworthy occasionally being called into the action. The proprietors of the Gungellan Hotel (formerly The Railway) are well used to answering questions from the series' many fans; souvenirs are available to purchase.

If you're wondering, the McLeod's station 'Drover's Run' lies some 15 kilometres to the south-west. It's a real property called Kingsford. But the local countryside is one of the major stars of the show - and free for everyone to enjoy! Freeling is set on gently rolling hills and in the early 1900s it was the largest hay producing centre in the state, with haystacks so large they could be seen for miles. Nowadays, although the haystacks have diminished in size, the towns popularity has boomed as it is the main setting for the award-winning television series, McLeods Daughters.
