The Waite Agricultural Research Institute was donated to the University of Adelaide by Peter Waite (1834 1922) who was a South Australian pastoralist and public benefactor. The Institute lies south-east of Adelaide in the suburb of Urrbrae, near where the South-Eastern Freeway meets the suburbs. The Waite Conservation Reserve lies south east of Waite Institute, up the hills face. It forms an interesting link between Cleland Conservation Park and the Brown Hill Creek Reserve. Peter Waites home was Urrbrae House on the campus property, but he also acquired nearby Claremont House, an historic property built by Alfred Hardy in 1842, and located on Hartley Grove, the main access road to the Reserve.
