Old Noarlunga

Old Noarlunga is a Fleurieu Peninsula town set on a bend in the Onkaparinga River. Take the self guided tour of Old Noarlunga to absorb its history, including the landmark Saint Phillip and Saint James Church. The village of Old Noarlunga became an important focus for local industry after it was founded in 1841. The river that once provided an early trade route for locally milled flour taken to ships at Port Noarlunga is now the centrepiece of a national park, with boardwalk access to the estuary wetlands where birdwatchers can expect to see little egrets, coots, ibis, herons and Yellow-billed spoonbills. See more of the Fleurieu Peninsula and a coastal playground famed for its laidback lifestyle, beach breaks for surfers of all levels of experience, and top fishing spots. It's a paradise for divers and snorkellers, with dramatic shipwrecks and stunning marine life, including the famed Leafy Seadragon. Enjoy some of the best produce and vineyards in Australia. The Fleurieu Peninsula is home to some prestigious winemaking regions, including McLaren Vale. The history of winemaking in this region goes all the way back to 1842, and it consistently produces some of the best drops you'll ever taste. There's also national parks, golf courses, top quality cuisine and more.
