Blackfellows Creek

Blackfellows Creek is a tranquil rural locality in the southern Mount Lofty Ranges of South Australia, approximately 37 kilometers south-southeast of Adelaide. The area encompasses about 7.8 square kilometers, featuring two parks that cover nearly half of its total area. Historically, the population was 453 in 2011, but by 2016, it had declined to 16 residents. The predominant age group is 50-59 years, and households are primarily childless couples. The region is characterized by its natural beauty, with native vegetation, forestry, and cattle grazing as the major land uses. Notably, Blackfellows Creek provides habitat for sensitive species, including the Mountain Galaxias, a native fish species identified as vulnerable.
