About Wharminda
Wharminda is a locality in the Australian state of South Australia located on the Eyre Peninsula about 242 kilometres (150 miles) west of the state capital of Adelaide. Its boundaries were created in 1998 in respect to "the long established name" which is reported as being derived from the "native name of a spring and range of hills in the area", with the spring being known as "The Wharminda Soak", and the literal translation of the word "Wharminda" being "weak water". Wharminda Primary School opened as Wharminda Siding School in 1914, and closed in December 2008.
