About Yallunda Flat
Yallunda Flat is a small rural locality on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula, located approximately 257 kilometres west of Adelaide and around 20 kilometres west of the coastal town of Tumby Bay. Administered by the District Council of Tumby Bay, the locality covers a large area of over 224 square kilometres of flat to gently undulating grain farming land characteristic of the lower Eyre Peninsula. With a population of approximately 120 residents, Yallunda Flat is a quiet agricultural community in one of South Australia's most productive cereal cropping regions.
The surrounding landscape is dominated by wheat and barley cropping farms, with the region benefiting from a Mediterranean climate and reliable seasonal rainfall of around 390 millimetres annually. Tumby Bay, just 20 kilometres to the east, provides the nearest shops, schools, and services, while Port Lincoln — the major centre of the Eyre Peninsula — is approximately 60 kilometres to the south. Yallunda Flat suits farming families and those who value the open, unhurried lifestyle of regional South Australia, with the Spencer Gulf coastline and Tumby Bay's beaches within easy reach for recreation.
Yallunda Flat falls under postcode 5607 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Flinders electorate.
