Suburb profile

Field is a welcoming smaller community in Coorong, with a settled community character. Set in the wider countryside, it offers distance from the capital and a strong sense of place. Long-term locals and family households define much of the community, with plenty of young families in the mix.

Weekends tend to revolve around local favourites: a café, a market run, a walk through town. There is a settled, neighbourly feel to the area that rewards people who like knowing their patch.

The market sits in a sensible middle ground: not cheap, but fair value for the area.
