WHERE YOU’LL BE AND WHAT YOU’LL DO
Booleroo Centre is a charming rural town nestled in the Southern Flinders Ranges, approximately 250 kilometres north of Adelaide. With a population of around 300, it offers a peaceful, welcoming lifestyle surrounded by stunning landscapes, rich history, and a strong sense of community.
This close-knit township values connection and tradition and provides essential local services including a hospital, schools, and small businesses—making it a self-sufficient and supportive place to live and work. The local economy is driven by agriculture, with grain, cattle, and sheep production forming the backbone of the region.

- Mount Remarkable National Park – hiking, wildlife, and camping
- Cycling and mountain biking – Melrose trails and historic railway routes
- Nature and coastal escapes – scenic lookouts and nearby coastal towns
Nearby towns such as Melrose, Wirrabara, and Wilmington further enrich the region with markets, galleries, and community festivals. Booleroo Centre is also well connected to Port Pirie and Port Augusta, providing access to additional services and amenities when needed.
