Yudnamutana (/jədnəˌmuːˈtɑːnə/ yəd-nə-moo-TAH-nə) is a historic mining valley in the Northern Flinders Ranges, located at Mount Freeling, North West of Arkaroola on the edge of the wilderness sanctuary.

First mined in 1862, it reached fame in Adelaide shortly afterwards when a block of ore weighing 4 tonnes (3.9 long tons) was paraded through the streets.

Copper concentrates were hauled to Port Augusta in drays by animals along rough tracks – a distance of about 300 kilometres (190 miles).

Transport was less costly this time – by dray for only 100 kilometres (62 miles) to the Central Australia Railway at Farina, then by train.

The mine's proprietors tried to further reduce the cost of transport by instigating a road train to Farina railway station in 1909.
