O'Halloran Hill, South Australia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

O'Halloran Hill (postcode 5158) is a suburb in the south of Adelaide, South Australia, situated on the hills south of the O'Halloran Hill Escarpment, which rises from the Adelaide Plains. The suburb is split between the Cities of Marion and Onkaparinga, and it neighbours Happy Valley, Sheidow Park, Trott Park and Darlington.

The suburb was named after Major Thomas O'Halloran, who was the second son of Major-General Sir Joseph O'Halloran^{[citation needed]}. Majors Road, which runs through the suburb was also named in his honour.

O'Halloran Hill is mainly research land attached to the Glenthorne CSIRO Field Station, but it also has a large suburb adjacent the Happy Valley Reservoir. O'Halloran Hill was also the site of the Wallis Drive-in known as the 'Star-line' which was the only drive-in theatre to overlook the lights of Adelaide.
