Bruce, South Australia

Bruce
Location of Bruce in South Australia

Bruce is a settlement in South Australia.[1]

An historic railway town in the centre of the Willochra Plain, 334 km north of Adelaide, it was first settled in 1850 and declared a town in 1876. Once a pass-through point on the train voyage from Sydney to Perth, replete with parklands and boasting cricket and tennis teams, it suffered terribly from the 1864-66 drought, then irreparably from the following drought years of the 1880s and 1890s.

Bruce currently has a population of four.[2]
