Hindmarsh, South Australia

[8] Before the colonisation of South Australia in 1836, the land now called Hindmarsh was occupied by the Kaurna people.

He and Arthur Lindsay subdivided the land in June 1838 and were responsible for it being laid out as the first private town in the colony of South Australia.

In 1916, the old town hall was expanded and extensively refurbished by noted cinema architect Chris A. Smith, to accommodated use as a picture theatre.

[7] The majority of residents (66.8%) are of Australian birth, with other common census responses being England (5.2%), South Korea (4.3%), Malaysia (3.8%), Thailand (3.3%), and Italy (1.9%).

[7] Hindmarsh is part of Beverley Ward in the City of Charles Sturt local government area, being represented in that council by Independent Edgar Agius and Labor Member Matt Mitchell.

[6] The suburb is represented in the South Australian House of Assembly by Tom Koutsantonis[14] and federally by Steve Georganas.

It has attracted performers such as Billy Bragg, Vika and Linda Bull, Paul Kelly and The Whitlams, as well as lesser-known musicians, local schools' annual concerts[17] and weekly open mic sessions in the front bar.

[23] The Adelaide Entertainment Centre is a major venue for all kinds of performances, from small intimate spaces to large concerts.
