About Edillilie
Edillilie is a large, sparsely settled rural locality on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula, covering approximately 261 square kilometres within the Flinders state electorate. The 2021 Census recorded just 129 residents across 47 dwellings in this vast locality, reflecting the low-density pastoral and agricultural character of the lower Eyre Peninsula. The area falls under the federal electorate of Grey, one of Australia's largest electorates by area, underscoring the remote and rural nature of this part of South Australia.
The Eyre Peninsula landscape around Edillilie is dominated by broadacre grain farming and grazing, with wide open vistas that are characteristic of this productive but lightly populated region. Port Lincoln, the regional capital of the Eyre Peninsula, lies to the south and provides residents with access to a full range of services including hospitals, schools, supermarkets, and an airport with regular flights to Adelaide. The broader region is celebrated for its pristine coastline, outstanding fishing, and some of Australia's freshest seafood, offering a lifestyle that combines productive rural land with spectacular natural surroundings.
Edillilie falls under postcode 5630 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Flinders electorate.
