No.
The original line from Goodwood Jt.to Willunga was closed back to
Hallett Cove, and a new line was built from Hallett Cove to Noarlunga
Centre. The newer extension is approx. 8.5 Km. in length, it runs
south from Hallett Cove paralleling the coast.
By the way if your map dosnt show the line to Noarlunga Centre it must
be pre 1978, you need to buy a new one as it would not show 1/2 of the
roads in the area.
