Information
Strathalbyn is a historic country township in South Australia’s Fleurieu Peninsula, set on the banks of the Angas River, about 60 km south-east of Adelaide. Established in the 1850s, the town retains a strong colonial character, with wide streets, heritage stone buildings, and attractive riverfront parks.
The town is best known for its well-preserved High Street precinct, historic churches, and the Angas River walk, which links gardens, wetlands, and picnic areas. Strathalbyn is also a hub for antique stores, art galleries, and local cafés, giving it a relaxed but lively country atmosphere.
Strathalbyn services the surrounding agricultural district and offers essential facilities for travellers, including fuel, supermarkets, accommodation, caravan parks, medical services, and dining options. It is a popular base for exploring the Fleurieu Peninsula, with easy access to Langhorne Creek wine region, Lake Alexandrina, Goolwa, and the Murray River mouth.
With its blend of heritage, riverside scenery, and practical traveller services, Strathalbyn is a welcoming stopover or short-stay destination for those touring regional South Australia.
