Region extending from Williamstown to Cape Jervis.
This area also includes the Fleurieu Peninsula.
When entering new localities, Williamstown should be used as the guide. (The Coordinates given are for the centre of Williamstown.)

Important Note: Barossa and Para Wirra Goldfields are situated WSW of Gawler on the Northern side of the Para River and not in the Barossa Valley.
The Barossa Valley pertains to the wine producing region North of Gawler, and stretches from Lyndoch in the South to Nuriootpa in the North.

Also we should note that all localities along the Adelaide Plains (the area running west of the ranges to the coast, upon which Adelaide is situated), are included in this region. Thus localities like Hallett Cove, Noarlunga and Reynella are listed here.

Note: The alteration of the name 'Adelaide Hills, South Mt Lofty Ranges' to 'South Mt Lofty Ranges (Adelaide Hills)', was made to clarify that the two are the same entity. The South Mt Lofty Ranges are known locally as the 'Adelaide Hills' due to them running along the eastern edge of the city of Adelaide. Officially there is no such locality as 'Adelaide Hills', as with many locally used names.
