Welcome to One Tree Hill, the home of the
One Tree Hill Progress Association
Overview of One Tree Hill and its Progress Association
One Tree Hill is nestled in the hills above Elizabeth/Craigmore and is roughly mid-way between Tea Tree Gully and Gawler, which is 12kms to the north. Adelaide is approximately 32kms to the south. The population of One Tree Hill is approximately 1200 people and the town still has a lovely village feel to it with its own country pub and small group of local shops. The name One Tree Hill derives from a single large gum tree that was situated 3kms from the centre of town near the original One Tree Hill Inn. The tree was burnt down in 1890 and 5 trees were planted around the old tree to commemorate the location. These 5 trees can been seen today on the corner of Walter Road and Black Top Road.
