[edit] History
[edit] Kaurna Aborigines
The Kaurna people (pronounced "Garner" or "Gowna") people were the Indigenous inhabitants of the Adelaide region, numbering approximately 650 in 1842. No sites of former Kaurna occupation have been found in the area. [2]
[edit] European settlement
Gulfview Heights is a relatively affluent new estate suburb carved out of Salisbury East and Para Hills. The main estate south of Wynn Vale Drive was first settled in 1996 and the whole area was officially renamed in 2001.
The area was originally farmed by William Pedler, a shoemaker whose trade gave rise to the name of Cobbler Creek. The reserve was set aside in 1970 and declared in 1989.
[edit] The Area
The boundary of Gulfview Heights is the Smith Road extension to the north, the suburb of Wynn Vale to the east, Bridge Road to the west and McIntyre Road to the south. Bayview Parade is the main thoroughfare for the estate, while Kiekebosch Road services the north.[3]
The suburb was declared after the 2001 Census so the population is presently unknown.
[edit] Facilities
The suburb has one primary school - Gulfview Heights Primary School (formerly Salisbury South-East Primary School) - and is near several others such as Kings Baptist Grammar School, Keithcot Primary in Wynn Vale and Keller Road Primary in Salisbury East. Para Hills and Golden Grove High Schools are nearby, as is the Golden Grove Village Shopping Centre.
The 288 hectare Cobbler Creek Recreation Park is accessible from Smith Road, and ranges from open grasslands near Bridge Road to red gums along the creek itself. There are no visitor facilities or amentities other than two walking trails starting from Smith Road.
[edit] Transport
The 560 bus route links Bridge Road with the Adelaide O-Bahn at the Tea Tree Plaza Interchange, and also to the Salisbury bus/train interchange.
