Poltalloch is a locality in the Australian state of South Australia located on land between the water bodies of Lake Alexandrina and Lake Albert about 87 kilometres (54 miles) south-east of the state capital of Adelaide.[3][2]
Poltalloch began as a private sub-division in the cadastral unit of the Hundred of Malcolm. Its boundaries were created in August 2000 in respect to “the long established name.”[2]
Poltalloch is bounded by Lake Alexandrina to the north, by Lake Albert to the south-west and by the Princes Highway to the south-east.[2] A road named the Poltalloch Road runs between the Princes Highway in the north along the coastline with Lake Alexandrina to Point Malcolm in the south-west where a ferry service operates to provide access to Narrung.[2][7] The principal land use within the locality is agriculture with a strip of land on the coastlines with both lakes being zoned for conservation purposes.[8]
The locality includes the following places listed on the South Australian Heritage Register - Point Malcolm Lighthouse, Poltalloch Homestead and Poltalloch Station Complex.[9][10][11]
Poltalloch is located within the federal division of Barker, the state electoral district of Hammond and the local government area of the Coorong District Council.[5][4][2]
