B37 (Mount Barker-Delamere) (Fleurieu Way) 

The B37 provides an alternative route to the Fleurieu Peninsula south coast as well as linking Victor Harbor with Kangaroo Island. The B37 starts at the Mount Barker Interchange (SE Freeway) heads south through Mt Barker itself and then south-east out of the Mt Lofty Ranges and into the Angas Valley where it reaches Strathalbyn. Continuing from Strathalbyn, the B37 heads south-west across generally flat sheep and grain growing pastures, the Finniss River & Currency Creek before reaching the south coast and river town of Goolwa. The B37 then heads west, hugging the coastline through the towns of Middleton & Port Elliot to reach Victor Harbor, then continues west across the southern ranges passing through rich dairy & sheep farming regions to the B23 junction at Delamere, where it terminates.
