Forest Range is a small town in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia, a small town with a population of approx 500 people. Each year some of the locals organise a small event, a “fun day” and fair on the first Sunday in December. This year the event was held on the 20th of December.
The name ‘Forest Range’ is derived from the forested area which originally covered the area. There are a number of forest reserves still within the Forest Range boundaries and they are managed by the Adelaide Hills Council. The forested area has now been reduced to a few remnant patches, mainly along the Waterhouse, Birdwood and Anstey Hill roads and in the area known as The Gorge in the eastern part of the suburb. The Forest Range is a hilly area with well-developed roads. The major roads are mostly named after famous figures and botanists, with the exception of the main arterial roads in and out of the area. These are mainly numbered.
