Perponda is a town and locality in the Australian state of South Australia located about east of the state capital of Adelaide.[1] [4]
Perponda was on the Waikerie railway line until it closed in 1994. The school opened in 1924, but has since closed.[8] The town was surveyed in 1919 and the name is derived from the local Aboriginal word for the plains.[9] The modern locality area includes the former town of Kalyan which was the next siding north along the railway.[10]
