Morphetts Flat is a locality on the right bank of the Murray River downstream of Morgan in South Australia. It lies on low flat land along the inside of a long right-hand bend in the river. The locality is dominated by shack sites and houseboats. It includes a slipway used for servicing and maintenance of houseboats.[3] Evidence that the locality is used for holiday accommodation is shown in the 2016 census when there were only 3 residents (all female) but 31 private dwellings recorded.[4]
