The District Council of Kimba is located in the North Eastern portion of South Australia's Eyre Peninsula. Strategically located on the Eyre Highway, National Highway One, Kimba is 475 kilometres from Adelaide, 155 kilometres from Port Augusta and 315 kilometres from Ceduna. Neighbouring towns are Cleve (75 kms), Kyancutta (90 kms) and Whyalla (120 kms).

The Kimba area was first opened up for agricultural purposes in 1876, with the township of Kimba being proclaimed in 1915. The township became the centre of the 3,500 square kilometre District Council of Kimba. The population of the district has been gradually declining over recent decades, with the district population currently around 1,211 people. Approximately 650 people reside within the township.

The economy of the area is primarily agriculture based, with the township being largely a rural service centre for the surrounding agricultural community. Tourism is set to become a greater part of the local community, with nearby Conservation Parks and the Gawler Ranges continually gaining popularity amongst the tourist markets.

Kimba is geographically "halfway across Australia" and is well known as the "Gateway to the Gawler Ranges".

Kimba now has a new Information Outlet.  It is located on Cross Street, turn right at the Gawler Rangers information display, coming from Adelaide.  Look out for the blue information sign.

Opening hours are Monday-Friday 9 am - 5pm  Saturday & Sunday 9 am - 1 pm.
