Our district is in the more recent versions of both main street directories but here are some tips.
Directions to Forest Range Cherries - Quickest:
The quickest way from most parts of
Adelaide - very winding - very pretty - 30 minutes from CBD if no
traffic jams.
Follow Magill Road. Leaving the built up area ignore the Lobethal sign
which shows a left turn - there is another Lobethal sign slightly
further on which indicates straight on, so do that - it's quicker. The
road winds gently along a valley and then after a sharp left turn
climbs steeply to Norton Summit, where- the Scenic Hotel is on the
left. The road curves to the right. Really you just keep going for 15
minutes. It's very winding and very pretty. You will pass Ashton Post
Office on your left, Camelot Castle on your right (after which the road
curves to the right). Finally at the top of a wooded hill you emerge
into a more cleared area of fields and orchards - that is Forest Range
- we are at the far end. There is a big shed near the corner but it is
partly hidden by a plantation of native trees.
Using Greenhill Road - longer - less winding - not bad if coming from the southern side.
Directions to Forest Range Cherries - Next quickest with milder bends - also good if coming from south of Adelaide:
In Uraidla fork left just before the Uraidla Hotel (which is on the right). This road merges into the road described above just before Camelot Castle.
Using the freeway
Directions to Forest Range Cherries - freeway - longer but good if coming from south of Adelaide
Longer but less stressful with small kids etc. Best to use the Bridgewater exit, turn left and follow the road to the top of the hill where you make a right turn at the T-junction. This takes you through to Carey Gully (no real town centre) where, at another T-junction you will see the CFS fire station slightly to the right. Turn right and after a very short distance turn left into Deviation Road (signposted for Forest Range). After about 5 minutes of fairly winding road this joins the Adelaide - Lobethal Road at the top of Forest Range - follow the road through Forest Range turning left into Plummers Road.
Having entered Plummers Road our orchard is 700m up on the right. If you come to a junction for Hewletts Road on the left you have gone too far - but you can turn safely in the triangle there.
Do not be fooled by the proliferation of signage which other operators place in front of our frontage.
