On the Coorong, outback filmaker Alby Mangels lists rustic Meningie, SA property

Jonathan ChancellorApril 23, 2013

The legendary outback filmmaker Alby Mangels has listed his 110 hectare Meningie, South Australia retreat.

The Princes Highway property sits on the Coorong lagoon ecosystem.

Trevor Rasheed of Raine & Horne Meningie has the property listing for $1.2 million.

Alby Mangels has owned the three bedroom house with light plane airstrip on the property for more than two decades.

He built the two storey home from mostly recycled stone, timber and iron materials in the mid-1990s including the old wool stores in Port Adelaide.

Known for his World Safari adventure conservation travel documentaries in the 1970s and 1980s, Mangels is selling the property because he is contemplating a move closer to Adelaide.

His 2010 documentary, Call of the Coorong was done on the property.
