Elwomple is a locality in The Coorong District Council in the South Australian Murray Mallee, southeast of Tailem Bend. The northwest corner is the junction of the Mallee Highway which forms the northern boundary of Elwomple, and the Dukes Highway which forms the southwestern boundary.[2] The under construction The Bend Motorsport Park will be in Elwomple adjacent to this junction.
The Elwomple railway station was on the Pinnaroo railway line which runs along the north side of the Mallee Highway. The Adelaide-Wolseley railway line is adjacent to the south side of the Dukes Highway. The siding opened for goods and passengers in December 1914, administered by the stationmaster at Sherlock.[3]
