Booleroo Hospital - the gateway to the Southern Flinders Ranges

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.
