About Solomon
Solomon is a remote pastoral locality in the Eyre Peninsula of South Australia, situated approximately 480 kilometres north-west of Adelaide within the Kimba District Council area. Covering around 326 square kilometres of open farmland and native scrubland, the locality lies north of Kimba in the upper Eyre Peninsula's cereal growing and pastoral zone. With a 2021 Census population of 65 residents, Solomon is a sparsely populated and isolated farming community in one of South Australia's more remote agricultural districts.
The upper Eyre Peninsula is known for its cereal cropping and sheep farming on the red and sandy soils that support broadacre agriculture in this semi-arid region. Kimba, the nearest service town approximately 40 kilometres to the south, is famous for its giant white galah — a celebrated piece of roadside Australiana marking the geographic halfway point across Australia. The locality suits farming families and those drawn to the quiet, self-reliant lifestyle of remote Eyre Peninsula agricultural communities, far from metropolitan pressures.
Solomon falls under postcode 5641 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Flinders electorate.
