The Hills Valley Weekly (formerly the Hills & Valley Messenger) is a weekly suburban newspaper in Adelaide, part of the Messenger Newspapers group. The Hills & Valley's area is bounded by the Belair National Park in the north-east, and the suburbs of Darlington to the west and Happy Valley to the south. Its western border roughly divides the foothills from the Adelaide plains.{{Cite web |url=http://www.community.newsmedianet.com.au/home/groups/group/title.jsp?titleid=72 |title=News Limited Community Newspapers |access-date=21 December 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071231171412/http://www.community.newsmedianet.com.au/home/groups/group/title.jsp?titleid=72 |archive-date=31 December 2007 |url-status=dead }}
