Mingbool is a locality in the Australian state of South Australia located about 372 kilometres (231 mi) south-east of the state capital of Adelaide adjoining the border with the state of Victoria and about 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) north-west of the municipal seat of Mount Gambier.[1][4]
Boundaries for the locality were created in February 1999 for the “long established name.”[1][3] Its name is derived from the cadastral unit of the Hundred of Mingbool and ultimately from an aboriginal word for “water.”[10]
Mingbool's western boundary aligns with the route of the Riddoch Highway while its eastern boundary is the state border.[1]
The principal land use in the locality is primary production. Two parcels of land in its south-west corner located close to both the Riddoch Highway and the Mount Gambier Airport in the adjoining locality of Wandilo are zoned for industrial purposes.[11][12]
The Mingbool homestead and stables is listed as a state heritage place on the South Australian Heritage Register.[13]
Mingbool is located within the federal division of Barker, the state electoral district of Mount Gambier and the local government area of the District Council of Grant.[7][6][1]
