Suburb Spotlight: Highbury

Highbury lies approximately 14kms north-east of the Adelaide CBD, within the City of Tea Tree Gully.

Highbury is a tightly held suburb loved by the locals. Paul puts this down to the naturally beautiful location, the abundance of nearby shopping and dining opportunities and the proximity to a choice of excellent schools.
