Peterborough Takeaway shop in the main street had great food and the foodland was well stocked. Steamtown was definately our favourite place with so much history and the night time Lights and Sounds Tour was excellent. It is easy to get around the town by walking and the roads are well signed for travelling by car. Lots of other towns nearby to visit as well.

The history of the town as major railway crossroad and maintenance centre is very intersting. There are some beautiful old buildings dating back to when Peterborough was a major centre. There is quite a lot to do if you are intersted in trains and railways.

A charming town with some interesting shops for those wanting to collect antiques etc. Great spot for those interested in railways/trains. We ate dinner at the Junction Hotel and had a fabulous meal, much more than we expected on the plate and well presented and cooked to our liking. The hosts were very welcoming and hospitable. The lighting was very soothing and romantic, i.e. they had turned off the nasty white lights and had soft lighting around the whole venue and there was a log fire which was lovely on a cold winter night. We ate breakfast at the cafe in the old picture cinema, at the end of town near the pharmacy. Good breakfast, great service, some interesting "stuff" on display there.

Good supermarket to purchase everything you need on your way to Wilpena Pound be it 1 day or 7 days. A visit to the motor bike museum essential only $7 entry. Fill up with fuel here cheaper than Hawker or Wilpena or else where

peterborough is in decline and we saw very few people. Questions of the retailers showed that town people are short of cash and shops can not exist for long. Having said that, the town is friendly and historic buildings and steam train museum are all good

we stayed in Peterborough to break the journey but my husband wanted to go to the steam train museum,. We enjoyed looking around at the trains and if it is something you like to do you would enjoy it
