About Jabuk
Jabuk is a small rural locality in the Murray Mallee region of South Australia, located approximately 200 kilometres southeast of Adelaide near the town of Tintinara. Covering around 187 square kilometres, the area is characterised by the flat mallee scrubland and dryland cropping country typical of South Australia's south-east. With a population of around 56 residents, Jabuk is a quiet, sparsely settled community in the electorate of MacKillop.
Agriculture — particularly wheat and barley cropping along with sheep grazing — forms the economic backbone of Jabuk and the surrounding district. The town of Tintinara, a short drive away, provides the nearest essential services including a general store, school, and medical clinic. Jabuk suits those who value a remote rural lifestyle with wide open spaces, low land prices, and a strong connection to South Australia's farming heritage.
Jabuk falls under postcode 5301 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Mackillop electorate.
