Kalangadoo, formerly Kalangadoo East, is a locality in the Australian state of South Australia located about 348 kilometres (216 mi) south-east of the state capital of Adelaide and about 31 kilometres (19 mi) north of the regional centre of Mount Gambier.

[10] The name was changed to Kalangadoo in 1940,[9][1] but after World War II the town languished, as farmers used their cars to shop in Penola and Mount Gambier.

[citation needed] The old timber mill was purchased by Sydney company Shield Formply in 2016 with plans to transform the plant and create new jobs.

It was planned that the mill would use locally-grown blue gum and pine to manufacture wood veneer for export.

[21] Kalangadoo is located within the federal division of Barker, the state electoral district of MacKillop,[citation needed] and the local government area of Wattle Range Council.
