Hickinbotham Oval is an Australian rules football stadium in Noarlunga Downs, an outer-southern suburb of Adelaide. It has been the home of South Australian National Football League club South Adelaide Football Club since 1995. In 2024 the ground was re-named Magain Stadium as part of a ten-year sponsorship deal with Magain Real Estate.
South Adelaide decided to move to the southern suburb of Noarlunga in the early 1990s, after 111 years of playing home games at the Adelaide Oval, located on the northern side of the Adelaide city centre and the Torrens River.
The club played two games at the Bice Oval in Christies Beach in 1992 and 1993 to gauge support in the area for the club. An overflow crowd of approximately 8,000 fans occupied Bice Oval in 1993 to see the Panthers' match against the Glenelg Tigers. The level of community support was a determining factor in South Adelaide's decision to permanently move to Noarlunga, becoming a community based club for the first time in its then 119-year history.
The Panthers' clubrooms and administration offices, previously located on South Road at St Marys, were also relocated to the Noarlunga Oval.

Korro railway station was a ground level stopping place during the passenger transport days of the Willunga railway line.
Shortly after the stop, the railway crossed the Onkaparinga River. The old bridge, built in 1914, had 3 spans, each of 70 feet, and was of lattice-type girder construction. A second bridge, built in 1930, also has 3 spans of rivetted plate-girder construction founded on concrete abutment piers driven into the bedrock. Height 17 feet, 3 inches.
The stop is now unused, the entire Willunga railway line having been dismantled in 1972 and later replaced with the Coast to Vines Rail Trail. It was located near what is now the southern end of the Southern Expressway in Huntfield Heights.
