A fine stone church anchoring the historic township of Auburn.
Auburn, the southern gateway to the Clare Valley, wears its history well, and St John the Evangelist Church is among its handsome stone landmarks. The township is celebrated for its intact colonial buildings and as the birthplace of poet C J Dennis.
