Mount Rat is a former subdivision in South Australia located in the locality of Wauraltee on the Yorke Peninsula. [1] It is located near the junction of the Spencer Highway and Mount Rat Road about halfway between the centres of Maitland and Minlaton. [1] It was first founded in the 1850s, and by 1882 had a school, hotel, blacksmiths, chapel and a large water tank. By 1905 the school had closed, and now the town has mostly disappeared. There are two water tanks and a telecommunications tower at Mount Rat. [2]
