Belalie East is a rural locality in the Mid North region of South Australia. It is situated in the Northern Areas Council.[1] The boundaries were formally established in April 2001 for the long established local name, relating to the cadastral Hundred of Belalie; however, the modern locality is divided between Belalie and the adjacent Hundred of Whyte.[2]

The Wilkins Highway runs roughly diagonally through the centre of Belalie East, connecting Jamestown and Hallett.[2]

The Belalie East school opened in 1878 and closed in 1959.[3] The Belalie East Memorial Hall opened on 1 September 1923, and survives today.[3][4] A Presbyterian church was built in 1881; its date of closure is unknown.[5] It also formerly had its own coursing club.[6] Belalie East has had three post offices: the first operated between 11 June 1873 and 2 May 1876, the second operated between 1 November 1883 and 31 March 1892 and the third operated between approximately 1896 and 1898.[7][8][9]

The historic Coolootoo Shepherd's Hut, a remnant of the significant Old Canowie Station, is located on the boundary between Belalie East and its southern neighbour Mayfield, and is listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.[10]
