The Hundred of Condada is a cadastral unit of hundred located on the northern Eyre Peninsula of South Australia spanning the township of Minnipa and surrounds. [1] One of the 24 hundreds of the County of Robinson, it was proclaimed in 1913 by Governor Day Bosanquet and named for Condada Hill, in the southwest of the hundred. [1]
The Eyre Peninsula is a triangular peninsula in South Australia. It is bounded on the east by Spencer Gulf, the west by the Great Australian Bight, and the north by the Gawler Ranges.
Minnipa is a small town serving the local grain growing community located on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula.
The County of Robinson is one of the 49 counties of South Australia. It was proclaimed in 1883 by Governor William Robinson who named it after himself. It lies on the north west coast of Eyre Peninsula stretching from Streaky Bay inland to include the Gawler Ranges Conservation Park at the southern cusp of the Gawler Ranges.
The hundred is entirely spanned by the bounded locality of Minnipa, along with the adjacent hundreds of Pildappa to the east, Carinato the south, and most of the Hundred of Minnipa to the southeast (in which the actual township of Minnipa lies).
The Hundred of Carina is a cadastral hundred of County of Robinson in South Australia. The hundred is located at 32°51′S 135°09′E and the main town of the hundred is Minnipa, 250 kilometres (160 mi) north west of Port Lincoln. The postcode is 5654
The hundred is located in the centre of a vast low-rainfall wheat belt and the surrounding countryside is gently undulating but broken by numerous wave-shaped granite outcrops (inselbergs). [2] Much of the hundred is uncleared and thick with vegetation, but broadacre cropping takes place along the western border, fringing Poochera and Karcultaby. [1]
An inselberg or monadnock is an isolated rock hill, knob, ridge, or small mountain that rises abruptly from a gently sloping or virtually level surrounding plain. In southern and south-central Africa, a similar formation of granite is known as a koppie, an Afrikaans word from the Dutch word kopje. If the inselberg is dome-shaped and formed from granite or gneiss, it can also be called a bornhardt, though not all bornhardts are inselbergs.
Poochera is a small grain belt town 60 km north-west of Streaky Bay on the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia.
Local administration of the hundred commenced in 1888 with the establishment of the District Council of Streaky Bay, which administered all of the County of Robinson not already administered by the District Council of Elliston. In 1925 the District Council of Minnipa, now called Wudinna District Council, was established and annexed Condada along with four other hundreds in the County of Robinson formerly in Streaky Bay council. Local governance of the hundred by Wudinna council has continued ever since.
The District Council of Streaky Bay is a local government area in South Australia located on the Eyre Peninsula. Streaky Bay is the main population centre of about 1200 people serving an agricultural district based on farming wheat and other cereal crops, sheep, supplemented by fishing and tourism industries. The district covers an area of 6,251.1 square kilometres with a population of 2,074 people in 2016, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
The District Council of Elliston is a local government area covering around 6500 km2 on the Western Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. Established in 1888, the district has a diverse economy, with agriculture, commercial fishing and tourism making up the majority of the local economy.
