Inverbrackie is a locality in the Adelaide Hills region of South Australia. It includes the Woodside Barracks (16th Air Defence Regiment), South Australia, although there are also some other residents and businesses in Inverbrackie. It is about 3 km from Woodside.
It is on the Nairne to Woodside road. The speed limit changes from 100 kilometres an hour to 80 kilometres an hour near the start of Inverbrackie.
After the second World War, Inverbrackie was the site of a refugee camp. In 2010, the Australian Federal Government announced that it would house refugees again. It is now a low security, family orientated detention centre, with the children attending local primary and high schools.[1] The detention centre is managed by Serco and houses 400 people.[2] While there was some controversy regarding the establishment of the detention centre in the area, community anger has subsided.[3]
