Pallamana is a locality in the Murraylands region of South Australia between the Mount Lofty Ranges and the Murray River, northwest of Murray Bridge.
Transport[]
Pallamana is where the former Sedan railway line crosses Reedy Creek Road (state route B35) which connects Palmer to Murray Bridge. The former station/siding was originally named Preamimma Railway Station.[2]
The Murray Bridge Airport is in the southeast of the locality of Pallamana. Another airfield named Rollo's Airfield (ICAO: YRLO) is on the western side of Pallamana.[4]
Energy[]
RES Australia proposes to build a 176MW solar farm at Pallamana starting construction in Autumn 2020. It would be located south of the airport on 730 hectares of what had previously been open farmland.[5] The solar farm would continue to be grazed by sheep between the solar panels.[6]
