About Pygery
Pygery is a remote rural locality on the Eyre Peninsula of South Australia, situated approximately 40 kilometres north of Wudinna in the Streaky Bay District Council area. Covering an extensive 264 square kilometres, the locality features the open mallee scrubland and broad dryland farming country characteristic of the mid-Eyre Peninsula, where cereal cropping and sheep farming are the dominant land uses. With a population of around 64 residents, Pygery is one of the more sparsely populated localities in South Australia's Eyre Peninsula.
Wudinna, the nearest town to the south, provides a supermarket, a primary school, and community services, while Streaky Bay to the west offers a broader range of services and spectacular coastal scenery. The Eyre Peninsula is known for its pristine, uncrowded beaches, excellent fishing, and the unique gawler ranges landscape to the north. Pygery suits those engaged in broadacre farming who value the vast open landscapes and strong agricultural community culture of the Eyre Peninsula.
Pygery falls under postcode 5652 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Flinders electorate.
