Population

The first four non-wikipedia results for 'Goolwa' in google cite four different populations: 4000 2360 7500 3018

4000 seems the most accurate estimate to me in lieu of exact figures.

The council - puts the figure at 7524 for both Goolwa and Hindmarsh Island. I found elsewhere that the 2001 figures for Goolwa were approx 5000 (5270 - 230 on HI). HI has grown a lot since 2001 because of the Marina, but I would estimate that of the 2254 increase since 2001, at least 2/3rds are in Goolwa. I'd put Goolwa's population down as 6,500. (unsigned)
