Overview

Tailem Bend sits on the lower River Murray, just before the river meets Lake Alexandrina, giving residents river‑front views and easy access to the cable ferry that links the town with Jervois. With a 2021 census population of 1,705, the community is anchored by the Coorong District Council offices, a historic town hall and the Old Tailem Town Pioneer Village – Australia’s largest pioneer museum – as well as Rogers and Pine‑Camp Parks for recreation. Recent attractions such as the Tailem Bend Solar Power Farm and The Bend Motorsport Park, just a few kilometres south‑east, add a modern leisure edge while the surrounding farmland supports pig, dairy and olive production.

The town’s linear layout is framed by river cliffs to the west and the Adelaide–Melbourne railway to the east, and it lies on the A1 highway, 20 km from the South Eastern Freeway. Junctions with the Princes and Dukes Highways, plus a nearby railway station, make it a convenient stop for interstate bus and truck traffic. Housing ranges from close‑in town residences near the council and amenities to rural properties on the agricultural fringe, offering a blend of suburban and country living.
