Coromandel Valley

"A Home among the gum trees with views to kill for"

This suburb was named after the ship "Coromandel" which visited South Australia in the 18th century. Some of the crew liked the place so much they didn't want to leave so they jumped ship, headed inland and hid in what is now Coromandel Valley. Not as well known as other Adelaide Hills suburbs, Coro Valley is just a couple of kms south-east of Blackwood. Excellent primary school, vet, butcher, tavern (The Duck Inn which has meals and live entertainment), small shopping centre etc. Public transport is pretty woeful. Plenty of wildlife around including koalas, kangaroos, possums,kookaburras and other birdlife. Blocks of land are pretty large and houses range in type and size. Plenty of parks, great cricket oval and community centre and a great linear walk/bike path that takes you along Minno Creek all the way in to Blackwood.

Second Valley

"Undiscovered gold"

I can't believe that this place hasn't taken off yet. Beautiful island, sea and hill views, excellent deep sea fishing, close to unspoilt parks and beaches. Only 104kms from Adelaide. (Ok, so the nightlife and internet access aren't great, but when I take my family on holidays, I don't want them sitting staring at screens all day and night!) Perfect jumping off point for visiting KI, bush walking, diving, chartered fishing adventures etc. Very peaceful. Can be quite windy, but is cooler than more northern townships. Also isn't far from Normanville, Second Valley, Rapid Bay or even Inman Valley, Victor Harbor etc making it an excellent starting point for day trips. Does need a few more shops, but they will come as the township expands. Maybe perfect location for a coffee shop/bakery/craft shop/another take away food shop. Currently on rainwater, but there have been plans for some time for a desal plant. With the starfish hill wind farm nearby it would make good sense. Once water is laid on I think Cape Jervis will move from a fishing village to a much more popular tourist township,
