About Hallett
Hallett is a small rural locality in South Australia's Mid North region, situated on the Barrier Highway approximately 32 kilometres north of Burra and 38 kilometres south-east of Jamestown. The locality falls within the Regional Council of Goyder and covers a substantial 268 square kilometres of mixed agricultural and pastoral land. With a 2021 Census population of 166 residents across 67 dwellings, Hallett sits close to the historically significant Goyder's Line — the nineteenth-century boundary drawn by Surveyor-General George Goyder separating reliable farming country from the drier pastoral lands to the north.
The Barrier Highway serves as the main transport corridor through Hallett, connecting it to the heritage copper-mining town of Burra to the south and Jamestown to the north-west. The surrounding landscape is characterised by open grain-growing and grazing country typical of South Australia's Mid North, offering a genuinely remote rural lifestyle well removed from urban centres. Adelaide lies approximately 200 kilometres to the south, making Hallett best suited to those who value wide open spaces, a small and self-reliant community, and the quiet, unhurried rhythms of country life.
Hallett falls under postcode 5419 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Frome electorate.
