Wirrabara is a town and a locality in South Australia,[1] about 235 kilometres (146 mi) north of Adelaide.

It is located in the Southern Flinders Ranges in the Mid North of South Australia, along the Rocky River.

The Horrocks Highway (Main North Road) passes through the town.

[2][3] The name Wirrabara derives from a corruption of two words from the Kaurna language of the "Adelaide tribe", wirra (gum trees) and birra (running water); in the Nukunu language of the local Nukunu people, wira and parl means gum trees with honey and water.

There is a producers' market on the third Sunday of the month,[6] and nearby is an example of silo art by the artist Smug (aka Sam Bates).
