About Myrtle Bank

Myrtle Bank is a suburb of Adelaide, South Australia in the City of Unley. The suburb is named after a property near the foothills built in 1842 by William Sanders (1801–1880), who arrived in South Australia in 1838.

At the 2025 federal election landslide, the Liberals won just two of the 400+ metropolitan election-day booths across the seven Adelaide-based seats — Myrtle Bank in Sturt, and Unley Park in the Division of Adelaide.
