About Wallaroo Hospital and Health Service

Wallaroo is a charming coastal town with a rich history and vibrant modern attractions. Located just 160 kilometres north of Adelaide, it's a perfect destination for both relaxation and adventure. The town is well-known for its long, wide northern beaches, making it a popular spot for swimming, fishing, and simply unwinding by the sea. Many visitors find the tranquil atmosphere so welcoming that they often linger longer than planned.

The Wallaroo Jetty is a major highlight for both anglers and divers. It's one of the busiest fishing spots in South Australia, offering excellent opportunities for catching a variety of fish. Below the jetty, the waters are teeming with marine life, making it a popular location for divers eager to explore the underwater world.

The town is also home to a deep-sea port and the Spencer Gulf prawn fleet, adding to its maritime charm. The multi-million-dollar marina development and the Spencer Gulf Searoad Car and Passenger Ferry provide a modern touch, making Wallaroo not just a place for history but also a gateway for further exploration of the region.

In 2022, Wallaroo was honoured with the title of South Australia's Small Tourism Town in the Top Tourism Town Awards, reflecting its growing popularity as a destination for visitors seeking a mix of history, outdoor activities, and relaxing seaside charm. Whether you're exploring the old waterfront, enjoying the beaches, or diving beneath the jetty, Wallaroo offers something for everyone.
