Overview

Paracombe sits just south of Inglewood on the Gorge Road corridor that leads out of Adelaide, offering a quiet, semi‑rural lifestyle within easy reach of the city. The town’s origins date back to the 1840s as a sheep station, and today it retains a small‑community feel with a population of 343 recorded at the 2011 census. Local amenities include a primary school, a recreation centre and a Country Fire Station, while the nearby Kangaroo Creek Reservoir – completed in 1969 – supplies water to eastern Adelaide and provides flood protection amid the surrounding countryside.

Public transport is limited; Adelaide Metro does not service the area, but LinkSA runs a coach from Tea Tree Plaza Interchange to Gumeracha and Mount Pleasant for regional connections. Residents enjoy easy access to natural attractions such as the Spion Kop and Rechabite Hill mountains, the Soldiers Memorial Oval park, and the scenic banks of the Little Para River that give the suburb its name.
