Location and description

It is located within the federal Division of Grey, the state electoral district of Stuart, the Pastoral Unincorporated Area of South Australia and the state’s Far North region. [1] [4] [5] [6]

Etadunna consists of a landscape that is described as an “extensive dunefield interrupted by large claypans grading into a large playa complex of salt lakes with gypsum dunes, and surrounding plain with channels and dunes”. [8]

The Birdsville Track passes through the locality from south to north, while the watercourse of Cooper Creek passes from east to west across its northern end. Features associated with the Cooper Creek watercourse include the northern end of Lake Gregory, which is located in the locality’s south-eastern corner. [1] [9] [10]

The principal land uses within the locality are primary production and conservation, with the former being associated with the grazing of cattle and the latter concerning the Coongie Lakes wetland system on the locality’s east side. [1] [3] [11]

Etadunna was located within an area shared with a number of adjoining localities which was surveyed during the 2016 Australian census in August 2016 and was found to have a population of 63 people. [2] [lower-alpha 1]

History

The locality name was gazetted on 26 April 2013 in respect to “the long established local name” which is derived from the pastoral lease called Etadunna Station. [1] [12]
