It is located adjacent to the Adelaide Park Lands, just north of North Adelaide, and is bounded by Robe Terrace to the South, Northcote Terrace to the East, Nottage Terrace to the North and Main North Road to the Northwest. The upper middle class suburb is mainly residential and contains many fine homes, and a number of historic mansions: "Willyama", (the Aboriginal name for Broken Hill), at 12 The Avenue was named so by Charles Rasp, the boundary rider who pegged a mining claim that became Broken Hill, after he bought it in 1887 from Oscar Görger, a local doctor/surgeon;〔(South Australian Directory ), 1883, pg. 191, and 1887, pg. 123〕〔(South Australian Directory ), 1888, pg. 159〕 "The Briars" at 15 Briar Avenue, built for George Hawker in 1856, is now the McBride Hospital; and there are many fine houses along Robe Terrace.〔Susan Marsden (1986) (''Metropolitan Adelaide: a short history'' ), first appeared as chapter 7 of Jenny Walker (ed.), ''South Australia’s Heritage'', Department of Environment & Planning, Adelaide, 1986, pp. 87-100.
