Eagle on the Hill, South Australia
- Eagle on the Hill, South Australia
Eagle on the Hill is a suburb of Adelaide in the Adelaide Foothills. Located on Mount Barker Road, which was the only connection from Adelaide to the South Eastern Freeway before the Heysen Tunnels were opened in 2000, it is now a relic of its former self. Its restaurant, hotel, bottle shop and service stations have now all closed, leaving behind a quiet suburb with a small resident population.
It borders Mount Osmond and Waterfall Gully
Hotel
The Eagle on the Hill Hotel was first opened in 1853 by William Anderson, who named it "Anderson Hotel". The Hotel went through further name changes in 1855 to "The Eagle on the Hill", then to "Eagle's Nest" in 1859 and back to "Eagle on the Hill" in 1860.
The hotel has twice been ravaged by bushfires. First in 1899, a fire destroyed all of the old hotels with the exception of two rooms. Again on Ash Wednesday (February 16, 1983) the hotel suffered, with it being completely destroyed. It was rebuilt again, and operated with much success until its closure after the construction of the new freeway route.
Eagle on the Hill also host a world class mountain bike park.
