About Yankalilla
Yankalilla is an agricultural township on South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula, located approximately 72 kilometres south of Adelaide in the scenic Bungala River valley, nestled beneath the southern Mount Lofty Ranges. Administered by the District Council of Yankalilla, the locality recorded a population of 963 at the 2021 Census across an area of approximately 32.5 square kilometres. The town has served as a service centre for surrounding agricultural and pastoral districts since European settlement in the 1840s, giving it a well-established rural character.
Yankalilla sits within one of South Australia's most picturesque regions, with the Fleurieu Peninsula's rolling hills, orchards, and vineyards on all sides. The popular surf beach at Normanville and the coastal township of Yankalilla Bay are close by, while the Inman Valley and Newland Head Conservation Park offer excellent opportunities for outdoor recreation. The main street provides essential shops and local services, and with Adelaide less than an hour's drive away, Yankalilla appeals to those seeking a quiet rural lifestyle while remaining within reach of city amenities.
Yankalilla falls under postcode 5203 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Mawson electorate.
