Kongorong

Kongorong is a town in South Australia, in the District Council of Grant near Mount Gambier. Its name is said to translate to ‘the corner of it’ in the indigenous language.

The town is best known for its sheep and dairy farms, grape growing, and timber plantations.

It has served as a residential and community area since 1922, when it was first established. Today, Kongorong town has a primary school, a netball and football team, several farms, wineries, and a handful of small hotels.
