About Ungarra
Ungarra is a small rural locality on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula, situated approximately 80 kilometres north of Port Lincoln and around 248 kilometres from Adelaide, within the Cleve Council area. Covering a substantial area of over 300 square kilometres, the locality had a population of 156 at the 2021 Census, reflecting the sparse settlement typical of the Eyre Peninsula's grain-growing hinterland. The median household income is modest, consistent with the agricultural economy that underpins most of the surrounding region.
Ungarra's character is shaped by dryland broadacre farming, with wheat and barley paddocks stretching across much of the surrounding landscape. The nearby town of Cleve, approximately 35 kilometres to the north, provides the primary services for residents including a school, medical centre, supermarket, and community facilities. The Eyre Peninsula is celebrated for its pristine coastline, excellent fishing, and national parks, and Ungarra's central location on the peninsula gives residents reasonable access to Coffin Bay National Park and the seafood capital of Port Lincoln.
Ungarra falls under postcode 5607 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Flinders electorate.
