About Dutton
Dutton is a small historic settlement in South Australia, situated approximately 6 kilometres north of Truro and 24 kilometres south of Eudunda in the Mid Murray Council and Regional Council of Goyder areas. Established in 1866, the locality covers approximately 74 square kilometres of South Australian cereal cropping and pastoral country, with an elevation of around 84 metres above sea level. The 2021 Census recorded a population of 133 residents, reflecting its character as one of the Barossa and Mid North region's smallest rural settlements.
Dutton is connected to the broader region via the Eudunda Road corridor, with the nearby town of Truro providing access to the Sturt Highway and services for local residents. The locality retains remnants of its 19th-century agricultural history, including historic farm structures, and sits within a broader district known for cereal farming and grazing. Eudunda, approximately 24 kilometres to the north, offers additional services including a hospital and schools.
Dutton falls under postcode 5356 and is governed by the Mid Murray Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Grey, while state elections fall under the Schubert electorate.
