Mingbool is a locality in the Australian state of South Australia located about south-east of the state capital of Adelaide adjoining the border with the state of Victoria and about north-west of the municipal seat of Mount Gambier.[1] [3]
Boundaries for the locality were created in February 1999 for the “long established name.”[1] [2] Its name is derived from the cadastral unit of the Hundred of Mingbool and ultimately from an aboriginal word for “water.”[9]
Mingbool's western boundary aligns with the route of the Riddoch Highway while its eastern boundary is the state border.[1]
The principal land use in the locality is primary production. Two parcels of land in its south-west corner located close to both the Riddoch Highway and the Mount Gambier Airport in the adjoining locality of Wandilo are zoned for industrial purposes.[10] [11]
The Mingbool homestead and stables is listed as a state heritage place on the South Australian Heritage Register.[12]
Mingbool is located within the federal division of Barker, the state electoral district of Mount Gambier and the local government area of the District Council of Grant.[6] [5] [1]
