Overview

Andamooka sits about 600 km north of Adelaide on Kokatha land and, according to the 2021 census, is home to 262 residents. The town’s hot arid climate and a median age of 57 give it a relaxed, small‑town feel, while opal mining and employment at the nearby Olympic Dam mine provide a steady economic base. Residents enjoy services within walking distance – a government primary school, a joint‑use community library, the Andamooka Co‑Op for groceries and fuel, and the Tucker Box restaurant as a social hub. A sealed road links the town to the region and an airstrip (Andamooka Airport) supports the Flying Doctor visit and police patrols.

Housing mirrors the town’s mining past – original dugouts carved into hillsides still line the main street, while the 1980s brought transported homes from the former Woomera settlement and newer conventional houses. A water pipeline now supplies the town, reducing reliance on trucked deliveries.
