Kapunda Snow
In June 1909 Kapunda, Allendale and Eudunda Ranges were covered in snow!
In our modern times, this is almost unheard of, but in the early 1900s, it would seem it was a regular occurrence.
The snow was reported in the Kapunda Herald (newspaper) in 1901, 1906, 1908 as well as 1909 falling steadily, and in enough volume around the district for locals to build snowmen!
