---

The University of Adelaide's Waite Campus in Urrbrae, South Australia, spans 184 hectares in the Adelaide foothills and specializes in agricultural science, viticulture, oenology, plant breeding, food research, and biotechnology.

Established in 1924 through a bequest from Scottish pastoralist Peter Waite, who donated the land including Urrbrae House, a heritage-listed 1891 bluestone mansion now serving as a museum, the campus hosts the Waite Research Precinct with partners conducting over $120 million in annual research.

Key features include the Waite Arboretum, Conservation Reserve, shared facilities like the Plant Accelerator and Australian Plant Phenomics Network, and historic sites such as the Coach House with its recreated early lab, attracting students, researchers, and public visitors.
