Blanchetown is a small township in South Australia, on the (west) bank of the Murray River, 130 kilometres (81 mi) northeast of Adelaide. The Blanchetown Bridge is the westernmost (and farthest downstream) of the four crossings of the Sturt Highway over the Murray River. During the nineteenth century it was an important transportation centre on the lower Murray. In the early 21st century, Blanchetown has been described as "a strange mixture of historic buildings and temporary shacks built by holidaymakers on the banks of the river". Blanchetown is widely regarded as the entrance to the Riverland district.

  • Blanchetown (250 habitants) est un village d'Australie-Méridionale sur la rive droite du fleuve Murray à 130 km au nord est d'Adélaïde. La ville doit son nom à Lady Blanche MacDonnell, la femme du gouverneur de l'Australie méridionale, Sir Richard MacDonnell. C'est le gouverneur qui choisit personnellement l'emplacement de la ville pour y installer les habitants d'un précédent site de peuplement, Murrundi (ou Moorundee) qui était soumis aux inondations. La ville possède la première écluse construite sur le Murray en 1922 pour permettre un trafic fluvial tout au long de l'année. (fr)
