Welbourn Hill is a small, remote locality in South Australia, situated approximately 275 kilometers north of Port Augusta in the heart of the state's arid outback. It is primarily known for its mining history, particularly its proximity to the historic Leigh Creek Coalfield, which was a significant energy resource for South Australia until its closure in 2015. The area is characterized by its vast, open landscapes, sparse population, and challenging desert climate. With limited amenities and services, Welbourn Hill is a place of quiet isolation, reflecting the rugged and resilient spirit of Australia's outback communities.
