Hallett was the next small town that I came across on the Barrier Hwy on my way to Burra Creek, my next overnight Free Camp. Hallett lies close to Goyder's Line, plotted in the nineteenth century by George Goyder, separating the land suitable for cropping from the land suitable for grazing. At the 2006 census, Hallett had a population of 210. Once a rail head for the local farming community, the town today features a store, gallery and the Wildongoleechee Pub. The things that I will remember about the nearby countryside will be the Wind Farm on top of Mt Bryan and the Crop Duster that was working the paddock just next to the Hwy.
