About Warooka
Warooka is a remote coastal locality situated on the southern tip of the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia, approximately 185 kilometres south-west of Adelaide within the Narungga electorate. With a population of 360 spread across a vast 512 square kilometres, the locality encompasses some of the most isolated and scenic farmland and coastline on the Yorke Peninsula. The area is characterised by low-density rural and hobby farm properties, with grain growing and pastoral farming forming the backbone of the local economy.
The Yorke Peninsula's southern coast is well known for its exceptional fishing, pristine beaches, and the nearby Innes National Park — one of South Australia's best-loved coastal wilderness areas offering surf breaks, camping, and abundant wildlife. Warooka serves as a small service point for the surrounding district, with the larger town of Minlaton approximately 30 kilometres to the north providing more comprehensive shops, schools, and health services. The locality attracts sea-changers, retirees, and those seeking an affordable coastal rural lifestyle far removed from metropolitan life.
Warooka falls under postcode 5577 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Narungga electorate.
