Mount Barker, Mountain peak in Adelaide Hills, Australia
Mount Barker Summit rises 513 meters above sea level, offering views of Mount Lofty, Mount Barker township, Lakes, Coorong, and Bremer Valley.
Captain Charles Sturt first spotted the mountain in 1830, which later received its name from Captain Collet Barker following his 1831 survey.
The summit area holds significance for the Peramangk and Njarrindjerri peoples, who maintained traditional connections to this elevated landscape for generations.
The summit reserve provides a 500-meter return walking trail from the car park, with interpretive signs explaining the geological features along the path.
The discovery of subterranean clover at Mount Barker transformed Australian agriculture by converting previously unproductive lands into fertile grazing areas.
