About Pallamana

Pallamana is a small rural locality in the Murraylands region of South Australia, situated north-west of Murray Bridge within the Rural City of Murray Bridge local government area. The locality lies between the Mount Lofty Ranges to the west and the Murray River to the east, in the transition zone between the ranges and the river plains.
