Alexandrina Council is a local government area in the Fleurieu and Kangaroo Island region of South Australia.〔 The Alexandrina Council was formed in 1997 by the amalgamation of the former District Council of Strathalbyn, the District Council of Port Elliot and Goolwa, and a portion of the District Council of Willunga.〔 For this reason, the district is split into five wards, which represent smaller subdivisions of the district. The district relies on a diverse range of industries including agriculture, fishing, forestry, viticulture and tourism to supply its economy. Many of the towns encompassed in the council are popular tourist towns not far from Adelaide. ==Economy== The economy of the Alexandrina Council is very diverse, which may be attributed to the great diversity of landscapes within its boundaries, allowing for diverse rural, fishing and tourism industries to occur. The largest part of the economy comes from agriculture, with a wide variety of farming practices including dairy, beef and sheep farming, with areas around Goolwa and Mount Compass prominent in the dairy industry. A number of crops including cereals, as well as Lucerne are planted in the district Langhorne Creek and Currency Creek are well known for its viticulture, producing high quality Sauvignon blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz and Chardonnay. In the Kuitpo region, forestry is prominent, with large tracts of pine present. The district borders three distinct bodies of water, the Southern Ocean, The Coorong and The Lower Murray River, all of which are commercially exploited for a variety of fish and crustaceans. The coasts produce shark, mulloway and Australian salmon, as well as huge numbers of Goolwa cockles which are exported all over South Australia. The Coorong holds large numbers of Salmon, Mulloway, Shark, Bream and Mullet, all of which are caught commercially. Commercial fishing above the Locks has become highly regulated to conserve native fish species but Golden Perch and Murray Cod are still caught, and a number of operators have found markets for the invasive European Carp. The area also has a significant tourism industry, particularly based around the Murray River at Goolwa and the beaches of Port Elliot and Middleton. The Steamranger ''Cockle Train'' operates from Goolwa and stops at Port Elliot on the way to Victor Harbor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alexandrina Council」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
