Mindarie, South Australia
- Mindarie, South Australia
-
Mindarie is a small town in the Murray Mallee of South Australia between Karoonda and Loxton. The town was gazetted in 1912. The name Mindarie is believed to originate from the Dieri Aboriginal language, and possibly means "festival to invoke peace".
Mindarie is home to the Australian Zircon heavy mineral sands mine.[1]
It is also home to an old unused local school.
Together with nearby Halidon, it hosts the Mindarie-Halidon Races in September each year, which is known as the Melbourne Cup of the Mallee.[2]
