Its name is of Aboriginal derivation and means “resting place,” referring to a nearby water hole. It is situated on the Eyre Highway east of the Nullarbor Plain, has a rail link to Port Lincoln, and specializes in the catching and packing of fish. Nearby is Isles of St. Francis Conservation Park, home for a variety of fauna, including the rare Cape Barren goose. Pop. (2006) 3,572; (2011) 3,480.
