Clovelly Park, South Australia
Clovelly Park is an inner southern suburb of Adelaide in the local government area of the City of Marion. Before becoming an 'advanced' suburb, it was a farm and vineyard. It has a population of around 2,700. The borders are defined by Daws Road to the north, South Road to the east, Sturt Road to the south, and a combination of Percy Avenue and the Tonsley railway line to the west. It is situated approximately 20 minutes from the CBD, and about 10 minutes from Flinders University, Flinders Medical Centre and Westfield Marion.
It is the location of the (now closed) Mitsubishi plant, although this is often called Tonsley Park, due to the former name of that part of the suburb.
For a time, Clovelly Park was also referred to as Chrysler Park due to misprints on street directories labelling the train station as 'Chrysler Park' railway station and due to the presence of the Chrysler Australia car plant, which was opened in 1964 and taken over by Mitsubishi Australia in 1980.

Famous quotes containing the words south and/or australia:
“In the far South the sun of autumn is passing
Like Walt Whitman walking along a ruddy shore.
He is singing and chanting the things that are part of him,
The worlds that were and will be, death and day.
Nothing is final, he chants. No man shall see the end.
His beard is of fire and his staff is a leaping flame.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“It is very considerably smaller than Australia and British Somaliland put together. As things stand at present there is nothing much the Texans can do about this, and ... they are inclined to shy away from the subject in ordinary conversation, muttering defensively about the size of oranges.”
—Alex Atkinson, British humor writer. repr. In Present Laughter, ed. Alan Coren (1982)
