The Hundred of Bartlett is a cadastral hundred of South Australia located in the remote County of Way. It was created in 1889.[1] LocationThe main town of the hundred is Charra, overlooking the Great Australian Bight about {{convert|584|km}} north-west of the Adelaide city centre and about {{convert|33|km}} west of the town centre of Ceduna.[2][3] By one reading of the book Gulliver's Travels, the hundred is the closest inhabited place to the location of the fictitious island of Lilliput.[4][5] HistoryThe traditional owners of the area were the Wirangu Aboriginal people and the first European to sight the area was Dutch explorer Pieter Nuyts in 1627 in the Gulden Zeepaard. In 1802 Matthew Flinders came past the district whilst on his voyage in the Investigator,[6].
