Summary
Weather for Parndana

Parndana is the main town of the north coast of Kangaroo Island. Often described as a typical Australian country town, it is now a small rural centre within an established farming area. There is a small shopping centre, three churches and a community hotel.

Parndana, meaning "The Place of Little Gums", was established in 1963 to service the booming farming community of the time. The soldier settlement scheme, which began in 1953, almost doubled the area of agricultural land on the Island. Parndana is located in the centre of Kangaroo Island on the Playford Highway - 40 kilometres from Kingscote.

Parndana has loads of quaint country town charm for visitors to enjoy. Catch the Spinners and Weavers Guild as they put on a wool spinning demonstration each Thursday afternoon, then purchase one of their colourful wares as a souvenir.

Visit the Pardana Wildlife Park - the biggest in South Australia - and get up close to their collection of rare and unusual animals. Just 3 kilometres west of Parndana on the Playford highway.
