Sherlock is a town and locality in the Australian state of South Australia. It is on the Pinnaroo railway line[2] and Mallee Highway.
The town was surveyed in May 1907.[3] The railway station opened in January 1913, with the stationmaster also responsible for the Moorlands station west.[4] The Sherlock Baptist Church opened in 1911, and was the first stone building erected along the Pinnaroo railway line.[5]
