About Uley
Uley is a large, sparsely populated locality on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia, covering approximately 324 square kilometres of farming and pastoral land. Located in the Streaky Bay area, Uley sits in a remote and rugged part of outback South Australia, characterised by vast open plains, cereal crop farming, and sheep grazing. The locality has a negligible permanent population and is primarily used for agriculture and station activities. Its extreme remoteness gives Uley a quintessentially outback Australian character.
The lifestyle in Uley is deeply rural, defined by the rhythms of the agricultural calendar and the vast silence of the Eyre Peninsula landscape. The nearest significant centre is Streaky Bay, which offers essential amenities including a supermarket, school, medical centre, and fuel. The Eyre Peninsula is renowned for its spectacular coastal scenery, excellent fishing, and diverse wildlife, making it a popular destination for travellers and grey nomads. Uley's open landscapes and clear skies are a drawcard for those who value space, solitude, and an authentic outback experience.
Uley falls under postcode 5607 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Flinders electorate.
