Goolwa was Australia's first inland port, established in 1853, and was connected by the country’s first railway in 1854 linking it to Port Elliot. The town’s early growth was driven by river trade before the decline of shipping shifted its economy to farming, fishing, and tourism.
Goolwa is located about 85 km (53 miles) south of Adelaide, making it a short drive from the state capital.
Goolwa enjoys a warm‑summer Mediterranean climate with dry, warm summers and mild, wetter winters. Average maximum temperatures range from about 24 °C in February to 15 °C in July, and the area receives roughly 442 mm of rain per year.
The Goolwa railway station is situated approximately 0.6 km from the property, providing rail access to the surrounding region.
Within about 0.7 km you’ll find Goolwa Boat Harbour, and the historic paddle steamer PS Oscar W is just 0.6 km away. Dolphins are often sighted nearby (around 0.8 km), and the Hindmarsh Island bridge is also within a short stroll.
Yes, the Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth (CLLMM) Research Centre opened in early February 2024 and is located between the Hindmarsh Island bridge and the Goolwa Barrage, focusing on climate‑change studies in the region.
