Glenunga is a small southern suburb of 2,539 people in the South Australian city of Adelaide. It is located three kilometres east of the Adelaide central business district (CBD). The name Glenunga is taken from an Aboriginal language "unga" meaning near and "glen" because of its proximity to Glen Osmand (see Manning's places of South Australia by Geoffrey H. Manning published in 1990). Bounded on the north by Windsor Road, the east by Portrush Road, the south-west by Glen Osmond Road and the west by Conyngham Street, the leafy suburb forms a rough triangular layout. It is close by to other Burnside council suburbs of Toorak Gardens and Glenside.
