Mills, and was named after Bellevue in Sydney by the developer Murray Hill. The southern part of the suburb includes the northern part of the Sturt Gorge Recreation Park. Bellevue Heights is in the Adelaide foothills. Residents usually have great views of either the city or the Sturt Gorge from their house.
