Hallett is a small town with a large history. Situated on the Barrier Highway 32 kilometres (20 mi) north of Burra and 38 kilometres (24 mi) south-east of Jamestown, 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.

Once a railhead for the local farming community, the town today features a store, gallery and the friendly Wildongoleechee Pub.

Hallett is the closest town to Netfield, birthplace of Sir Hubert Wilkins (1883 - 1958), perhaps the last modern explorer. Sir Hubert Wilkins birthplace and childhood home, Netfield, now restored as a historic site, is easily accessible from the renown Mt. Dare Driving Circuit between Hallett and Terowie.
