About Booleroo Centre
Booleroo Centre is a small agricultural township in the southern Flinders Ranges region of South Australia, located approximately 220 kilometres north of Adelaide on the slopes of the Mount Remarkable plateau within the Northern Areas Council. The township serves as a local service hub for the surrounding grain-farming and pastoral district, covering a notably large area of 441 square kilometres. The 2021 Census recorded a population of 482 residents, with social housing comprising nearly 9% of total dwellings — reflecting Booleroo Centre's role as a community support centre for the broader district.
The town features a general store, hotel, primary school, and community facilities typical of a rural South Australian service town, set against a backdrop of rolling hills, native scrub, and broad wheat-farming paddocks characteristic of the southern Flinders Ranges. Mount Remarkable National Park, known for its gorges, waterfalls, and wildlife, lies within easy driving distance to the north. Port Pirie (approximately 70 kilometres to the south-west) serves as the nearest regional centre for larger shopping, healthcare, and transport links, while the Barrier Highway provides access north towards Port Augusta.
Booleroo Centre falls under postcode 5482 and is governed by the Mount Remarkable Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Grey, while state elections fall under the Stuart electorate.
