Set in the Barossa Reservoir, just outside of Williamstown this wall is over 110 years old. However, it isn’t its age that makes it famous, but its musical abilities.

Erected over three years between 1900 and 1903, the wall was intended to act as a back-up water supply for the Gawler. Early settlers had been using water from the South Para River, but there were concerns that the water wasn’t clean enough. Hence, the building of the wall on the site of the Yettie Creek Gorge.

Soaring 9-storeys skyward, the concave wall was, at one point in time, the highest dam in the country. Though it lost its title, the wall continues to draw in visitors every year .

Today you can visit the wall from 9am-5pm and marvel at the acoustics that travel for one end to the other side. Located only 50 kilometres outside of the city of Adelaide, the Whispering Wall is a must visit attraction. See it on the way to the Barossa Valley via the picturesque Adelaide Hills.
So why is the Whispering Wall so special?
For many, the wall speaks to them. Whispered words can be heard from the other end of the dam 140 metres away, despite the incredible distance. Try it for yourself – hold a conversation with someone from side to side and see how much you can hear.

How Does the Wall Work?
No, it’s not some magical feature. The whispers can be heard thanks to the parabola effect. The wall creates one part of a perfect circle. This causes sound waves that hit it to bounce in a number of jumps to the other end – meaning sound travels really well.
