About Moorlands
Moorlands is a small rural locality in the Murray Mallee region of South Australia, situated approximately 25 kilometres east of Tailem Bend in the Coorong District Council area. Covering around 144 square kilometres, the locality is characterised by the flat to undulating mallee scrubland and dryland cropping country typical of the Murray Mallee, where the sparse eucalyptus mallee gives way to cleared cereal cropping farms. With a population of around 64 residents, Moorlands is a quiet agricultural community set in one of SA's drier inland farming regions.
Tailem Bend, the nearest town, provides a supermarket, primary school, and community facilities, as well as access to the Murray Bridge road and rail corridor. The broader Murray Mallee region is known for its wheatbelt character, with large farming properties, grain silos, and the open skies of the mallee defining local life. Moorlands suits those committed to dryland farming who value the quiet, wide-open landscapes of the Murray Mallee.
Moorlands falls under postcode 5301 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Mackillop electorate.
