Footnotes^[2]

Morn Hill is a locality in the Mid North region of South Australia. It straddles the Horrocks Highway midway between Gawler and Tarlee.

Morn Hill is a rural locality with a handful of farms—at the 2016 census, there were six dwellings housing 17 people.^[1] The locality drew its name from the Morn Hill School which opened in 1891^[2] but has long since closed. Morn Hill also had a Primitive Methodist church which had opened by 1870^[3] and closed soon after 1900.^[4]

In the Morn Hill area, the Horrocks Highway (formerly Main North Road) forms the boundary between the federal electoral divisions of Grey (on the west) and Barker (to the east).^[2]
