About Hamilton
Hamilton is a small rural locality in South Australia, situated approximately 120 kilometres north-east of Adelaide and about 23 kilometres north of the historic town of Kapunda. Positioned between the renowned Barossa and Clare wine valleys, Hamilton falls within the federal electorate of Barker and the state electorate of Schubert. With a population of 82 residents across 86 square kilometres, it is a quiet agricultural district with a median postcode taxable income of around $44,373.
Hamilton has a rich pastoral heritage, most notably as the home of Anlaby Station, established in 1839 by Frederick Dutton and regarded as one of South Australia's most significant historic homesteads. The station, located between the Barossa and Clare valleys, features a collection of Victorian and Edwardian-era buildings set across approximately 1,840 acres. Once a stop on the mining cart route from Adelaide to the Burra copper mines, Hamilton today is a peaceful farming district. Residents travel to Kapunda for schooling, shopping, and services, while the wine regions of the Barossa and Clare are within easy driving distance.
Hamilton falls under postcode 5373 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Schubert electorate.
