Suburb profile
Palkagee is a welcoming smaller community in Elliston, with a settled community character. Remote from the metro area in the best sense: quiet streets, big skies and a town that runs on its own timetable. The community skews younger, with a strong working population.
There is a settled, neighbourly feel to the area that rewards people who like knowing their patch. Housing is well-priced for what you get: space, location and everyday convenience.
