Information

Small rural centre on the eastern side of the southern Flinders Ranges.
Located 262 km north of Adelaide on the edge of the Flinders Ranges, Orroroo is one of those towns which seems to have been designed so that people have to get fit to cross the main street. To see a photograph of the main street in 1878 is to be in awe of the way the main street was developed. There is a veritable football field between the buildings on one side of the road and the buildings on the other.
