Kent Town, South Australia

Another son, Tom, was a kangaroo hunter, who went to live at the township of Yalata (now Fowlers Bay) on the west coast, and created a cluster of cottages named "Kent Town", which no longer exist.

[6] Kent established a flour mill and farm which failed financially and he was obliged to return to his profession to support his family.

[citation needed] In the latter half of the 19th century, a tram network serviced Kent Town, with one branch running eastwards to Kensington Gardens.

[10] According to a report by the SA Heritage Council released in 2022, the complex "is widely acknowledged as one of the best medium-density, cluster-housing urban infill developments built in South Australia during the late twentieth century".

[11] The Australian Institute of Architects regards it as a good model of social housing, "designed with consideration of community, environmental performance, privacy and access to landscaped space".

[10] As of November 2023[update], there are 20 state and local heritage-listed places in the Kent Town portion of Rundle Street.

[2] Prince Alfred College, an independent school for boys is located on Dequetteville Terrace, the western boundary of the suburb.
