Summary
Weather for Karoonda

Situated on the Loxton-Murray Bridge Road, Karoonda is a thriving farming community.

Karoonda is an aboriginal word meaning winter camp. Although only established in 1911, the area is well served by such facilities as health care, schooling, banking, farming and related industries. Pioneer Park offers a look at the history of the district. Karoonda is only 150 kilometres from Adelaide and 110 kilometres from Loxton, That is of course why Karoonda is referred to as the Heart of the Mallee. Karoonda is the major town in the area with a population of 300. Access to aged care services, hospital, ambulance service, CFS, grocery store, newsagency, hotel, chemist, banking via agency and eftpos.

Other features are the Bakara Plains, with unusual limestone caves, and near Mercunda an Aboriginal Rock Pool is a must for persons interested in carvings. The rise and fall of the continental land mass and sea levels plus extreme climatic changes have all contributed to the present land forms. Below our feet at about sea level is one ancient sea bed holding the sub artesian water basin which is tapped with bores. This water gravitates from the Grampians in Victoria over thousands of years.
