Perponda is a town and locality in the Australian state of South Australia located about 111 kilometres (69 mi) east of the state capital of Adelaide.[1][5]
History
[edit]Perponda was on the Waikerie railway line until it closed in 1994. The school opened in 1924, but has since closed.[9] The town was surveyed in 1919 and the name is derived from the local Aboriginal word for the plains.[10] The modern locality area includes the former town of Kalyan which was the next siding north along the railway.[11]
