Willunga: Aldinga Airfield
Among South Australia’s places, Aldinga Airfield stands out for its role in general aviation on the Fleurieu Peninsula. The airfield lies inland from the Gulf St Vincent coast, amid the low, open farmland and expanding settlements of the southern Adelaide region. Light aircraft activity gives this part of Aldinga a working character distinct from the beaches farther west. Nearby Willunga is known for its nineteenth-century slate quarrying heritage; the town’s slate was used in buildings across colonial South Australia. The wider area also connects with the McLaren Vale wine district, whose vineyards and cellar doors are a major part of the peninsula’s contemporary identity.

Few towns in South Australia have a history as closely tied to slate quarrying as Willunga. At the southern foot of the Mount Lofty Ranges, it developed during the 19th century around farming, vineyards and quarries whose stone helped shape many local buildings. Willunga slate became a recognised South Australian material, and the former quarry area recalls an industry that left a lasting mark on the district. The town stands on the edge of the McLaren Vale wine region, while its Saturday farmers’ market brings regional growers and producers into the centre. The coast of Gulf St Vincent lies west on the Fleurieu Peninsula. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across South Australia.

Among Australia’s regions, South Australia stands out for its vast arid interior set between the Southern Ocean and the country’s great inland basins. The Flinders Ranges bring rugged, ancient geology to the north of Adelaide, while the Murray River supports irrigated communities and wetlands along the state’s eastern edge. Spencer Gulf and Gulf St Vincent shape the coast, with the Eyre and Yorke peninsulas extending between them. Adelaide, founded in 1836 as a free colony, remains the state capital and a centre for festivals, food and wine; nearby Barossa Valley is internationally known for its vineyards.
