Walker Flat: Forster Hill
Forster Hill sits near the Murray River in South Australia, where mallee scrub meets low-density farmland on the river’s inland plain. It belongs to the rural district around Walker Flat, a small Murray settlement linked across the river by the Walker Flat Ferry. The terrain is defined less by urban development than by open paddocks, native trees and wide unsealed tracks. The Murray is South Australia’s principal inland waterway, sustaining irrigation districts and compact settlements along its bends. During the nineteenth century, paddle steamers made the river a vital transport route for South Australian communities. Forster Hill reflects the spacious, working character of this part of the Murraylands.
