Jamestown Hospital and Health Service

Jamestown is a historic town located in South Australia’s Mid North, 220 kilometres north of Adelaide. Nestled along the banks of Belalie Creek and situated on the Crystal Brook-Broken Hill railway line, Jamestown serves as an important regional hub, connecting Adelaide and Perth to Sydney via the main interstate railway.

The town lies within an agricultural region renowned for producing grain, legumes, wool, and timber. Jamestown is also notable for the Bundaleer Forest—the world’s first plantation forest—established in 1876. This forest has long symbolised the town’s pioneering role in forestry practices.

Today, Jamestown blends historical charm with modern progress, as its agricultural heritage and innovative energy projects continue to drive its development and regional significance.
