Eudunda, South Australia
Eudunda is a rural town in South Australia, roughly 103 kilometres northeast of Adelaide, established in 1870 after settlers began moving into the area in the 1860s. As of the 2006 census, Eudunda had a population of 640. Eudunda is in the Regional Council of Goyder local government area, the South Australian House of Assembly electoral district of Stuart and the Australian House of Representatives Division of Grey. Etymology and Nomenclature The town name of Eudunda originates from the name of the spring to the west of the town, which local Aboriginal people called ''judandakawi.'' According to Dr. Phillip Clarke of the South Australian Museum, ''judandakawi'' means 'sheltered water.' Alternative translations appear as ''Eudundacowi, Eudandakawi,'' or ''Eudundacowie.'' The spring still flows to this day. Some local theories suggest that German pronunciation of the letter ''j'' led to the current pronunciation. The earliest-known written mention of the name 'Eudunda' comes fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Regional Council of Goyder is a local government area located in the Mid North region of South Australia. The council area is reliant on agriculture as a mainstay of its economy, with manufacturing and tourism also becoming prominent.
