Balhannah is a town in the Adelaide Hills about 30 km southeast of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia. It was established in 1839 as a farming community. The fruit cold store built in 1914 was one of the first in Australia and is still in use. It is on the main interstate railway between Adelaide and Melbourne. In the past it was the junction for a branch line that ran up the Onkaparinga Valley and beyond to Birdwood and Mount Pleasant [cite book|title=Railways in the Adelaide Hills, 1st edition |publisher=Openbook Publishers, Adelaide |author=Sallis, Roger |year=1998 |isbn=0-646-35473-6] .
