Route description


Route B19 starts at the junction of Main North Road and Gawler bypass road at the southern end of Gawler. It proceeds into Gawler along the Adelaide Road, over the historic bridge across the South Para River and along the southern part of the main street. Route B19 turns right (east) onto the Barossa Valley Way in the centre of the town. The Barossa Valley Way passes through Sandy Creek, Lyndoch, Rowland Flat, Tanunda and Nuriootpa, where it crosses the North Para River and meets the Sturt Highway. The route is predominantly on the valley floor, with wineries and vineyards on both sides of the road, with views of the rising ground including the Barossa Ranges.



History


The Barossa Valley Way follows a previous alignment of the Sturt Highway, which used to pass through the towns of Gawler, Lyndoch, Tanunda and Nuriootpa[1][2] instead of where it now passes around the west and north of Gawler and the Barossa Valley.
