Wallaroo Plain is a locality in the Australian state of South Australia located on the west coast of Yorke Peninsula immediately adjoining Spencer Gulf about 148 kilometres (92 mi) north-west of the Adelaide city centre.[3] Its boundaries were created in January 1999 along with the selection of the name. The name was derived from the plain which the locality now occupies.[2] As of 2014, land within the locality was zoned for agriculture while a strip of land along the coastline adjoining Spencer Gulf was zoned for conservation.[7] Wallaroo Plain is located within the federal division of Grey, the state electoral district of Goyder and the local government area of the District Council of the Copper Coast.[5][4][2]
