Eurelia is a town and locality in the Australian state of South Australia located on the east side of the Flinders Ranges about 264 kilometres (164 mi) north of the state capital of Adelaide and about 20 kilometres (12 mi) from the municipal seat of Orroroo.
[1][3] The locality's boundaries were created on 16 December 1999 for the “long established name” and includes the site of the Government Town of Eurelia.
It is thought that local Dreamtime stories associated with the Ranges locates Eurelia as an "ear" of a prostrate man.
[12] Land use within the locality is ’primary production’ and is concerned with “agricultural production and the grazing of stock on relatively large holdings.”[13] Eurelia is located within the federal division of Grey, the state electoral district of Stuart and the local government area of the District Council of Orroroo Carrieton.
Water from the dams was shipped across the South Australian Railway system during times of drought.
