Pallamana is a locality in the Murraylands region of South Australia between the Mount Lofty Ranges and the Murray River, northwest of Murray Bridge.

Transport

Pallamana is where the former Sedan railway line crosses Reedy Creek Road (state route B35) which connects Palmer to Murray Bridge. The former station/siding was originally named Preamimma Railway Station.[2]

The Murray Bridge Airport is in the southeast of the locality of Pallamana. Another airfield named Rollo's Airfield (ICAO: YRLO) is on the western side of Pallamana.[4]

Solar farm proposal

RES Australia proposed to build a solar farm with up to 176 MW capacity and a battery storage facility at Pallamana, south of the Murray Bridge airport, on a 730 hectares (1800 acres) open farmland site. Construction was to start in 2020[5] but as of December 2023 work had not started.[6]
