About Brimbago

Brimbago is a remote rural locality in the South East of South Australia, situated approximately 20 kilometres south of Keith in the Tatiara District Council area. Covering around 149 square kilometres, the locality lies in the open mallee and grazing country of the upper South East, characterised by cleared farmland, remnant mallee scrub, and the flat to gently undulating landscape typical of this part of South Australia.
