About Kringin
Kringin is a town and a locality in the Australian state of South Australia located in the state’s east about 199 kilometres (124 mi) east of the state capital of Adelaide and about 61 kilometres (38 mi) south of the municipal seat of Loxton. The government town of Kringin was proclaimed on 25 September 1924 on land on the boundaries of the cadastral units of the hundreds of Kingsford and Peebinga to the immediate north-west of the Kringin Railway Station. The town was named after the railway station, a stop on the now-closed Peebinga railway line, and whose name is derived from an aboriginal word meaning “growing” or “springing up.” The boundaries for the locality were created on 28 September 2000 and includes the site of the Government Town of Kringin which is located in its south-eastern corner adjacent to the Peebinga Conservation Park.
