About Woolundunga

Woolundunga is a locality in the Australian state of South Australia located on the western side of the Flinders Ranges about 271 kilometres (168 mi) north of the state capital of Adelaide and about 21 kilometres (13 mi) south-east of the city of Port Augusta. Boundaries for the part of Woolundunga within the City of Port Augusta in the west were proclaimed on 17 February 1994 while the part within the District Council of Mount Remarkable in the east was added on 13 March 1997. The locality's name is of Aboriginal origin and is considered by the South Australian historian, Geoffrey Manning, to be derived from the name of “springs near Mount Brown” claimed to belong to a group of Aboriginal people with “the same name.” The name was used in 1851 for a pastoral enterprise called the ‘Woolundunga Run’ which was established by J.
