Canunda is a locality in the Australian state of
South Australia located on the state’s south-east coast overlooking the body of water known in
Australia as the
Southern Ocean and by international authorities as the
Great Australian Bight. It is about 339 kilometres (211 miles) south-east of the state capital of
Adelaide and 49 kilometres (30 miles) south of the centre of
Mount Gambier.[1][4][9][10]
Boundaries were created in February 1995 for the “long established name” which is reported as being derived from the “Canunda Conservation Park”.[1]
Canunda consists of land along the coastline extending from south of the town centre of
Southend in the north to just before the headland of
Cape Banks in the south and the land between the coast and
Woakwine Range in the east including the entirety of
Lake Bonney SE.[11][1]
