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.

“I like Australia less and less. The hateful newness, the democratic conceit, every man a little pope of perfection.”
