78 Barker Road, Waterloo Corner SA 5110, Australia
78 Barker Road is situated in Waterloo Corner, a suburb about 22 kilometres north of Adelaide, South Australia. The area blends rural and urban characteristics.
The surrounding land is mainly agricultural, with crops such as wheat, olives, grapes and tomatoes being cultivated in the area.
Port Adelaide is roughly 0.9 km away, Winston Park SA Equestrian Centre about 1 km, the Tramway Museum in St Kilda around 1.4 km, and the historic Waterloo Corner weather station about 2 km distant.
Port Wakefield Road runs through the suburb, carrying a significant amount of heavy freight traffic which passes close to the property.
The suburb was established by Southern Estates Ltd in 1960 and was once home to the Waterloo Inn at St Kilda Road and Port Wakefield Road, as well as the Elim Chapel and cemetery, both of which have been demolished.
A historic Waterloo Corner weather station operated within the suburb from 1930 to 1939 and is located approximately 2 km from the house.
The post office in Waterloo Corner was closed in 1972, so postal services are now provided from nearby suburbs.
