About Miltalie
Miltalie is a remote rural locality on the Eyre Peninsula of South Australia, covering approximately 516 square kilometres of open cereal cropping and mallee country south of Kimba. Situated within the District Council of Kimba area, the locality occupies the broad, flat to gently undulating agricultural landscape that defines the central Eyre Peninsula — one of Australia's most productive grain-growing regions. With a population of around 67 residents, Miltalie is a sparsely settled farming community in a vast, open landscape stretching toward Spencer Gulf to the east.
The town of Kimba, approximately 20 to 30 kilometres to the north, provides the nearest services including fuel, a supermarket, a school, medical facilities, and the famous "Big Galah" — Kimba's iconic tourist attraction and a symbol of the town's outback character. Whyalla, the Eyre Peninsula's largest city, is accessible approximately 130 kilometres to the south-east, offering hospitals, major retail, TAFE, and Port Augusta is within 160 kilometres. Miltalie residents enjoy the quiet rhythms of grain farming on the Eyre Peninsula, with wide open skies, excellent bird life, and one of Australia's most productive and storied agricultural landscapes.
Miltalie falls under postcode 5602 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Flinders electorate.
