Kurralta Park is a suburb of Adelaide, South Australia in the City of West Torrens. Landmarks include Kurralta Central shopping centre, Brown Hill Creek and the Westside Bikeway on a former railway line.[1]
Dr William Wyatt purchased an 80-acre section of land, south-west of Adelaide, which would become Kurralta Park, in 1837.[2] Dr Wyatt (an early Protector of Aborigines) made his home, "Kurralta", in Burnside. "Kurralta" is said to mean "set on a hill" in a local language.[3]
The area is bound by Anzac Highway to the south, South Road to the east, and Barwell Avenue to the north. Brownhill Creek divides the suburb.It is about 4 km from the CBD of Adelaide.
