Curramulka, nicknamed "the Currie", is a town in the Australian state of South Australia on the Yorke Peninsula.

The name is derived from the Aboriginal words curre (emu) and mulka (deep water hole), referring to the nearby caves.

[9] After the more northerly town of Ardrossan developed as the main regional port for wheat and wool, Curramulka's importance diminished, but it started to grow again in the 21st century.

[14] Ngadjuri man Vince Copley became coach and captain of the Curramulka AFL team (in the now defunct Southern Yorke Peninsula Football League), reached the premiership in 1957, 1958, and 1959.

It was his first experience of being welcomed into white people's homes, after experiencing racism in other country towns.
