Mundoora is a settlement in South Australia,[6] 16 km inland from Port Broughton, to which it was connected by the horse-drawn Port Broughton tramway around 1876. Its tram, dubbed "The Pie Cart", which was described as a "kind of second-hand coffin drawn by one horse"[7] and still in operation in 1923[8] was later relegated to the Railways Museum[9] and the line dismantled.
