Moana is an outer coastal suburb in the south of Adelaide, South Australia. The suburb is approximately 36.4 km from the Adelaide city centre. It lies within the City of Onkaparinga local government area, and neighbours the suburbs Seaford, Maslin Beach, Seaford Rise and Port Noarlunga[4] It is divided into two by Pedler Creek and the associated sand dune reserve. The beach is often referred to as Moana Beach.
Ochre Point lies between Moana and Maslin Beach.[5] Ochre Cove, or Red Ochre Cove, lies just south of the point.[6] There is a large deposit of red ochre near the cove, which was used as a source by the traditional owners, the Kaurna people.[7] The cove was known as Potartang,[8] also spelt Putatang, or Mulgali (the latter the Ngarrindjeri word for ochre),[9] is a site of significance and part of the Tjilbruke Dreaming Trail.[8]
