Penola is a historic town located in the Limestone Coast region of South Australia, approximately 388 kilometers southeast of Adelaide. Founded in 1850, the town holds significant cultural and historical importance as the place where Mary MacKillop, Australia's first saint, established her first school in 1866.

The town is situated in the heart of the Coonawarra wine region, known for its terra rossa soil and premium wine production, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon. Penola's heritage is preserved through its well-maintained 19th-century buildings, including the original schoolhouse and the Woods-MacKillop Schoolhouse. The town combines its religious and educational history with a strong connection to Australian wine culture, making it a significant destination for both historical and cultural tourism.
