About Pine Hill

Pine Hill is a small rural locality in south-eastern South Australia, situated within the Tatiara District Council area in the region between the towns of Keith and Bordertown. It covers approximately 109 square kilometres and had a 2021 Census population of 66 residents, reflecting its sparse, agricultural character. The locality sits in the Tatiara district — one of South Australia's most productive wheat and livestock farming regions — with large rural holdings as the dominant land use.

The Tatiara district is known for its extensive grain and sheep farming, and Pine Hill residents typically rely on nearby towns such as Keith for essential services, schools, and shopping. The Dukes Highway, which connects Adelaide to Melbourne, passes through the broader region, providing reasonable road access despite the locality's remoteness. Pine Hill is suited to those who appreciate wide open spaces, a close-knit rural community, and the quiet pace of life on South Australia's southern Outback fringe. There are no local public transport services, and a private vehicle is essential.
