Overview

Tarlee sits in South Australia’s lower Mid North, where the Horrocks Highway bridges the Gilbert River and lies just 8 km south of Giles Corner, the junction where the Barrier Highway to Broken Hill splits off. The town’s historic roots stretch back to an 1867 auction of the township, and its modest population of 302 (2016 census) enjoys a rural lifestyle framed by easy road access to the Clare Valley and surrounding districts.

Local amenities include the Tarlee Primary School a short walk from the centre and the heritage Tarlee Institute building, opened in 1888. Although the former Tarlee railway station on the Peterborough line is no longer operational, the town remains well‑connected by the Horrocks Highway. Housing is a mix of traditional homes built around the historic settlement, offering a blend of period character and contemporary rural living.
