About Willalooka
Willalooka is a small rural locality in South Australia's Limestone Coast region, situated within the Tatiara District Council area approximately 255 kilometres south-east of Adelaide and 34 kilometres south of Keith. With a population of around 136 residents spread across nearly 380 square kilometres, Willalooka is one of the more sparsely settled localities in the South Australian interior. The modest median household income of around $43,000 reflects the agricultural community that defines this quiet corner of the state.
The locality is dominated by broad-scale grain and livestock farming typical of the Tatiara district, with flat to gently undulating terrain and a semi-arid climate. Local services are minimal; residents travel to Keith for schools, medical care, and everyday shopping, while Naracoorte — roughly 75 kilometres to the south — offers broader services including the World Heritage-listed Naracoorte Caves. Life in Willalooka suits those who value wide open spaces, a slow pace, and a strong connection to Australia's agricultural heartland.
Willalooka falls under postcode 5267 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Mackillop electorate.
