Jib Court, North Haven, SA 5018

Jib Court is beautifully located off Australia II Avenue which is the prettiest street in North Haven with its Norfolk Pine lined wide boulevard. Jib Court has only six loved and cherished homes in it and a park and playground at one end where one can sit and have a picnic whilst watching the children play. The park is also a good spot to watch the cargo ships and passenger liners sail into the Port of Adelaide or berth at Outer Harbour. A leisurely stroll of three minutes takes you up to picturesque North Haven beach and Surf Life Saving Club where you can have a meal or get fit doing Zumba (apart from saving lives of course). From North Haven Beach you can sit on the rocks that form the revetment wall (put there in 1908) of the shipping channel. Do a spot of fishing from the rocks, famous for harbouring salmon trout. As you sun yourself and dream from the rocks you can see down the coast to Largs Bay and Semaphore and watch the leisure craft playing on the ocean, the parasailors scooting along on top of the waves, and the swimmers and surfers enjoying themselves.

The Outer Harbour train station is only a seven minute walk away and trains can whisk you away to Adelaide Station within 40 minutes. Next to the railway station is the 9-hole golf course - another place to get some exercise. Public buses are an alternate means of travel with bus stops all along Lady Ruthven (at the end of Australia II Avenue) and Lady Gowrie Drives. Buses take you to Westfield Shoppingtown West Lakes or to Adelaide City. It takes about 30 minutes in your car to get to Adelaide.
