Skilly Hills

Section of the Skilly Hills on the western side of the Clare Valley town of Penwortham

The Skilly Hills are a range of hills which make up part of the Mount Lofty Ranges in South Australia's Mid North region.

They comprise several long parallel ridges of low hills which run generally north south, parallel to the Horrocks Highway, forming part of the western geographical boundary of the Clare Valley. For government administration, they are in the Hundred of Upper Wakefield, County of Stanley.[1]

The most prominent peaks are Tower Hill and Mount Oakden, the latter being named after local pioneer John Oakden.
