Nantawarra is a locality in South Australia located about 120 kilometres (75 mi) north of the Adelaide city centre and within the local government area known as the Wakefield Regional Council.[2][3][4] The locality occupies land on both sides of Highway 1 between Port Wakefield in the south and Snowtown in the north.[1] Nantawarra is recognisable from a distance by the presence of grain silos immediately just east of the Adelaide-Port Augusta railway line. The name Nantawarra may derive from the word nantuwara (meaning a northern yerta, or family group) in Kaurna, the language of the indigenous people of this part of South Australia.
