About Stewart Range

Stewart Range is a small rural locality in the Limestone Coast region of South Australia, covering approximately 241 square kilometres of undulating pastoral and agricultural country north-east of Bordertown. Situated within the Tatiara District Council area, the locality is set in a landscape of sheep grazing, mixed cropping, and mallee remnants typical of the upper south-east — an area known for its productive soils and reliable winter rainfall. With a population of around 67 residents, Stewart Range is a quiet farming community in a predominantly agricultural part of the Limestone Coast hinterland.

The town of Bordertown, approximately 20 to 30 kilometres to the south-west, serves as the nearest service centre and provides supermarkets, schools, a hospital, and connection to the Dukes Highway — the main Adelaide to Melbourne corridor. The broader Limestone Coast region encompasses the famous Coonawarra and Padthaway wine districts, and the area is also known for excellent bluegum timber plantations and wool production. Adelaide is approximately 260 kilometres to the north-west via the Dukes Highway, making Stewart Range a productive rural community within a manageable drive of the South Australian capital.

Stewart Range falls under postcode 5271 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Mackillop electorate.
