Yallunda Flat is a small rural centre located approximately 21 km west of Tumby Bay on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula. The local sports ground is host to an annual country show, and was used as a set in the 1981 movie Gallipoli, probably because it is largely unchanged from a bygone era. A history of Yallunda Flat was published in the 1980s, entitled "Gum Trees and Gullies" reflecting on the picturesque nature of the area.
