Matta Flat is a suburb of the town of Kadina on the Yorke Peninsula.

[3] The boundaries were formally gazetted in January 1999, although the name had long been in use for the area.

[7] The historic Matta House, now operated by the National Trust of South Australia as part of The Farm Shed Museum, was built just south of the mine as a house for mine manager Edward Austin Horn.

[8][9] Later, in 1871, the Matta Flat area was surveyed as one of four "occupation blocks" to meet high demand for housing near Wallaroo Mines.

[10] The Matta enginehouse chimney was demolished in May 1932, leading a newspaper correspondent to complain about the demolition of local landmarks.
