Overview

Stone Hut is a small town nestled in the Mid‑north of South Australia, positioned on the Horrocks Highway – a section of the Main North Road – roughly midway between Laura and Wirrabara. Founded in 1874 as a subdivision of sections in the Hundreds of Booyoolie and Appila, the settlement takes its name from a four‑room stone hut built in the early 1850s that once sheltered shepherds and later served as a Cobb & Co mail‑coach station on the Clare‑Port Augusta route.

The town’s location on a major highway provides straightforward road access to surrounding communities, making daily commutes and travel convenient for residents. A modest commercial boost arrived around 2005 when Wheatley’s “Old Bakery” relocated from Wirrabara, offering a local amenity for both residents and visitors. Though small, Stone Hut’s blend of historic charm and accessible transport supports a variety of housing options typical of a regional South Australian settlement.
