Bangham is a locality in the Australian state ofSouth Australia located in the state's south-east within theLimestone Coast region about 279 kilometres (173 miles) south east of the state capital ofAdelaide, about 31.5 kilometres (19.6 miles) south-east of the municipal seat ofBordertown and adjoining the border with theState of Victoria.[1][6]
Boundaries were created in March 2000 for the “long established name” which is derived from existing geographical features such as theBangham Railway Station. The name is ultimately derived from Edward Bangham who “held adjacent land under occupation licence in the 1840s.”[1][12][13]
The Frances Road which is a road maintained by theGovernment of South Australia, passes through the locality fromBordertown in the north toFrances in the south.[14] TheMount Gambier railway line which has been closed since 12 April 1995[citation needed], passes from north to south through the locality on its east side. Infrastructure exists for two railway stations - one named Bangham in the locality’s centre and the other named Geegeela in the locality’s north.[1][15]
The majority land use within the locality is primary production. Three areas of land have been proclaimed forconservation purposes as theBangham Conservation Park, theGeegeela Conservation Park and thePine Hill Soak Conservation Park.[1][16]
