Nepabunna, also spelt Nipapanha, is a small community in the northern Flinders Ranges in north-eastern South Australia, about 600 kilometres (370 mi) north of Adelaide.

The Nipabanha Community Aboriginal Corporation runs the Indigenous Protected Area (IPA) over land known as Nantawarrina, once a station for mixed livestock.

[10] A University of Adelaide anthropological expedition travelled to Nepabunna in May 1937 led by J.B. Cleland, which included Charles P. Mountford as ethnologist and photographer, as well as botanist Thomas Harvey Johnston, virologist Frank Fenner, and others.

[12] The council provides housing maintenance and general municipal services as well as organising cultural tours and education and an annual gymkhana and family day.

[13] The Nipabanha Community Aboriginal Corporation[14] runs the Indigenous Protected Area (IPA) over land known as Nantawarrina, once a pastoral station.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) would help guide the project, while the federal government would provide funding for land management and preservation of cultural heritage, infrastructure and training for Indigenous rangers.

Restoration work on an old homestead, Irish Well Hut, has been undertaken, and camping sites,[17] a dormitory in a converted TAFE building, as well as separate provision for women, provide accommodation for tourists.

[21] In 2000, Nantawarrina won a United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) award, and was inscribed in the Global 500 Roll of Honour for Environmental Achievement.

[21] The North Flinders Soil Conservation Board, National Parks and Wildlife Service (South Australia), Primary Industries and Resources SA and Save the Bush have also supported the project.

[citation needed] Bush Heritage Australia works with the rangers to help monitor the flora and fauna of the IPA.
