Overview

Tailem Bend, known locally as “Tailem,” is a modest rural town 85 km south‑east of Adelaide, perched on the lower reaches of the River Murray near its entry to Lake Alexandrina. Its linear streets are framed by dramatic river cliffs to the west and the Adelaide–Melbourne railway line to the east, giving the town a distinct, compact character while offering easy rail access via Tailem Bend railway station.

The community enjoys a blend of essential amenities: the historic Town Hall, several green spaces such as Rogers Park and Pine‑Camp Park, and two primary schools, Tailem Bend Primary and nearby Jervois Primary. The Dukes Highway runs close by, linking residents to regional centres, and a water pipeline supports local services. With a 2021 census population of 1,705, the town provides a mix of housing that caters to families and those seeking a relaxed, river‑side lifestyle.
