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
[edit]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]
Solar farm proposal
[edit]RES Australia proposed to build a solar farm with up to 176 MW capacity and a battery storage facility at Pallamana, south of the Murray Bridge airport, on a 730 hectares (1800 acres) open farmland site. Construction was to start in 2020[5] but as of December 2023[update] work had not started.[6]
