Hookina is a former town in the Flinders Ranges in South Australia.
It was surveyed in 1862[1] on the route for transporting ore from mines at Blinman to the coast.
Up to 130 bullock teamsters could camp in the area as it provided a secure water supply.
[2] The inn closed in 1896 following a drought that led to sand piling up against the building.
The last publican was refused renewal of his licence, so he removed the roof iron and moved to the nearby township of Wonoka a little further upstream along the creek, where the Hookina siding on the Central Australia Railway was.
