About Wallaroo Plain
Wallaroo Plain is a small rural locality on the Yorke Peninsula of South Australia, situated within the Copper Coast Council approximately 15 kilometres south-east of Wallaroo. Covering around 98.8 square kilometres of flat cereal farming country, it had a 2021 Census population of approximately 51 residents. The locality lies in the northern Yorke Peninsula's wheat and barley farming country, where the flat, alkaline soils produce consistent grain harvests across the open agricultural landscape.
Wallaroo is the nearest service town, known as one of the Copper Coast's heritage towns with its historic copper smelting past, foreshore facilities, and grain handling port. Kadina, the largest of the Copper Coast's three historic towns, provides a broader range of retail, healthcare, and education services within a short drive. Wallaroo Plain suits those connected to the Yorke Peninsula's grain farming community, with the famous Copper Coast towns and the peninsula's beaches and fishing accessible nearby.
Wallaroo Plain falls under postcode 5556 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Narungga electorate.
