About Paratoo

Paratoo is a locality in the Australian state of South Australia located about 254 kilometres (158 mi) north-east of the state capital of Adelaide and about 52 kilometres (32 mi) north-east of the municipal seat in Peterborough. Its boundaries were created on 31 August 2000 for the "long established name" which is derived from the Paratoo Railway Station and ultimately from an Aboriginal word of unknown meaning "given to a property held by Messrs Dare and Mundy circa 1858 (lease no. 1892)." Land was added to its northern side on 26 April 2013 to "prevent the intersect of parcels with the creation of the new locality of Waroonee." Its boundaries coincide with those of the cadastral unit of the Hundred of Paratoo.
