About Marola
Marola is a very small rural locality in the Mid North region of South Australia, situated within the Narungga state electorate and the federal electorate of Grey. Positioned at latitude -33.68° and longitude 138.39°, it lies in the agricultural heartland south of Clare Valley wine country, covering approximately 26.4 square kilometres. With a 2021 census population of just 8 people, Marola is one of South Australia's smallest localities, characterised by quiet pastoral land.
The locality is surrounded by the broader agricultural district of the Mid North, known for sheep grazing, grain farming, and proximity to the world-famous Clare Valley wine region. Residents are entirely reliant on private vehicles to access services in nearby towns such as Clare or Balaklava. Marola represents the rural simplicity and open-space lifestyle of regional South Australia, offering a tranquil environment for farming families who value space, solitude, and a deep connection to the land.
Marola falls under postcode 5464 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Narungga electorate.
