About Norwood
Established in 1847, Norwood is named after a South London district. The small suburb is a central shopping district, popularly known as The Parade of Norwood. Only a five minute drive from the business center of Adelaide, Norwood attracts food, fashion, furniture, book, and music enthusiasts from afar.

Every February, Norwood puts together the Natuzzi: The Parade Food, Wine, and Music Festival. Annually, over 80,000 locals spend the day sampling the 20 restaurateurs and café owners of The Parade. As a part of Australia premier wine country, the festival offers the perfect blend of food and wine.


About Goolwa
Goolwa derives its name from an aboriginal word meaning elbow. First surveyed in 1840, it wasn’t till 1853 that it would become the first major shipping port of South Australia. In addition to the port, Goolwa continued to become a prominent part in the shipping industry as the first town to open a railway system.

As a result of industrialism in the 1880s, Goolwa position in the shipping business significantly decreased. Nevertheless, Goolwa is enriched with history due to its origins as a shipping port. The town still maintains many of its brick buildings and paddle steamers. Today, Goolwa is a fast growing tourist resort with numerous amounts of water sports; including fishing and surfing.
