The Story Behind the Name

The name "White Hill" comes from a natural landmark in the area. There's a specific hill called White Hill, and it's part of a larger group of hills known as the Gifford Hills Range. This range of hills runs alongside the famous Murray River, on the western side of Murray Bridge. It stretches from Gifford Hill all the way to Rocky Gully and the Kinchina Conservation Park.
