Wonna is a rural locality in the Mid North region of South Australia, situated in the Regional Council of Goyder. [3] The modern locality was established in August 2000 when boundaries were formalised for the long established local name. [6]

The cadastral Hundred of Wonna was proclaimed by Governor William Jervois on 31 October 1878. [7] The modern locality covers a little over half of the hundred at the southern end, while also including a significant rural portion of the adjacent Hundred of Terowie; the remainder of the Hundred of Wonna is now in Franklyn. [3]

A government town named Mallett was surveyed in March 1880, but it was not successful and was declared to have ceased to exist on 16 May 1929. [8]

The historic Mungibbie Homestead is one of the oldest surviving buildings in the district and is listed on the South Australian Heritage Register, as is a nineteenth-century former smokehouse off Wonna Road. [9] [10]

The 2016 Australian census which was conducted in August 2016 reports that Wonna had no people living within its boundaries. [2]
