Yinkanie is a locality, formerly a small settlement established at the terminus of the Moorook railway line, in the Murraylands region of South Australia near the River Murray.[note 1] The railway line opened in 1925 and closed in 1971; it was never extended to the river.[5]
Notes
- ^ The Government of South Australia stipulates "River" to be placed first when referring to the two major rivers of the state, the River Murray and River Torrens.[4] Usage outside of South Australia is usually to place "River" last.
