Taldra, South Australia
Taldra is a small settlement in the northeastern Murray Mallee region of South Australia adjoining the border with Victoria. The aboriginal word taldra means kangaroo. At the, Taldra had a population of 150.
The railway through Taldra opened on 13 October 1913 but closed in the 1980s. The former towns and sidings between Taplan and Taldra are now incorporated in the Bounded Locality of Taldra. They were Nangari, Pungonda, Noora and Ingalta. Little remains of any of these settlements. Nangari once had a shop, Noora once had a football team. Taldra still has grain silos at the former railway station erected in the 1950s, but if they are used, they are cleared by road, not rail.
