Skilly Hills

Skilly Hills: The Skilly Hills is a range of hills which make up part of the Mount Lofty Ranges and forms the Clare Valley, in South Australia's Mid North region. The name comes from the Skilly Creek, which was named by explorer John Horrocks, who was forced to live off "skilly", a basic porridge made from flour and warm water. The name stayed over time, and eventually the surrounding hills also took on the title.
