Nantawarra is a locality in South Australia located about 120 kilometres (75 miles) north of the Adelaide city centre and within the local government area known as the Wakefield Regional Council.[4][5][6] The locality occupies land on both sides of Highway 1 between Port Wakefield in the south and Snowtown in the north.[3] Nantawarra is recognisable from a distance by the presence of the disused grain silos immediately just east of the Adelaide-Port Augusta railway line.[citation needed] The name Nantawarra may derive from the word nantuwara (meaning a northern yerta, or family group) in Kaurna, the language of the indigenous people of this part of South Australia.[citation needed]
In June 2023, the grain silos were planned to be demolished, with uproar from the local community.
