About Willochra
Willochra is a remote rural locality in South Australia's mid-north region, situated in the Flinders Ranges area approximately 370 kilometres north of Adelaide. Covering nearly 480 square kilometres, the area had only 12 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. The name Willochra comes from an Aboriginal word and the locality includes the historic Willochra Plain, a broad intermontane basin flanked by the Flinders Ranges and known for its dramatic outback scenery and pastoral heritage.
The Willochra area is remote, dry country primarily used for sheep and cattle grazing. The historic township of Quorn, situated nearby, serves as the closest service centre for residents and visitors exploring the region. The area is traversed by the historic Pichi Richi Railway and draws visitors interested in outback heritage, geology, and the rugged beauty of the Flinders Ranges. Life here is quintessential outback South Australia — vast, quiet, and deeply connected to the land.
Willochra falls under postcode 5433 and is governed by the Flinders Ranges Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Grey, while state elections fall under the Stuart electorate.
