Melrose, SA 5483
Overview
Melrose blends historic charm with an active outdoor lifestyle. Set at the foot of Mount Remarkable National Park, the town serves as a gateway for hikers, mountain‑bikers and runners – the King of the Mount race and the Fat Tyre Festival draw participants each year. A bustling caravan park welcomes around 100,000 visitors, while the local tennis club hosts a popular Easter tournament and the community enjoys heritage attractions such as Jacka’s Brewery, the historic courthouse and several timber‑slab dwellings. Families benefit from Melrose Primary School, a kindergarten and a range of local shops and services.
Road links are straightforward: Melrose sits on the Horrocks Highway (formerly Main North Road) and was once served by the Wilmington railway line, which operated from 1915 until its closure in 1990 with a station just 2 km north of town. The housing mix reflects the town’s legacy, featuring heritage‑listed cottages, blacksmith‑shop dwellings and more recent residential properties that sit alongside the historic streetscapes.
Region type mix: Metro 100%.
