Course and features
Part of the Onkaparinga River catchment area that drains the western slopes of the Mount Lofty Ranges,{{cite web |url=http://www.epa.sa.gov.au/reports_water/c0046-ecosystem-2008 |title=
Panalatinga Creek, Reynella East: 2008 Aquatic Ecosystem Condition Report |work=Environmental Protection Authority |publisher=Government of South Australia |date=2008 |access-date=28 March 2017}} the creek rises in the foothills in the southern Adelaide suburbs around Chandlers Hill through to Trott Park, South Australia and reaches its confluence with the Field River near the Southern Expressway. Now no more than a narrow suburban watercourse, Panalatinga Creek's earliest European recorded use was as the source of water for John Reynell's early vineyards around his Chateau Reynella homestead in 1849.{{cite web|url=http://www.onkaparinga.net/about/creeks/panala.shtml |title=About the Catchment Area - Panalatinga Creek |publisher=Onkaparinga Waterwatch Network |date=2006 |accessdate=2008-07-21 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080721031600/http://www.onkaparinga.net/about/creeks/panala.shtml |archivedate=21 July 2008 |df=dmy-all }}
