Coordinates [3]

Collinsville is a rural locality in the Mid North region of South Australia, situated in the Regional Council of Goyder. [1] It was established in August 2000, when boundaries were formalised for the "long established local name". [3] It has almost exactly the same boundaries as the cadastral Hundred of Tomkinson, with small variations on its western border. [4]

According to the 2021 Census, Collinsville had a very low population, with the ABS reporting suppressed data due to the small number of residents. [5]

The Hundred of Tomkinson was proclaimed on 18 September 1879 by Governor William Jervois, named after politician Samuel Tomkinson. [4] Collinsville Post Office opened on 1 April 1896, named after the property of local grazier John Collins; it closed on 1 December 1917. The state Nomenclature Committee had recommended in 1916 that the post office be renamed 'Metiappa', an abridgement of 'Piltimetiappa', the Aboriginal name for a local creek and the name of another local station, but there is no record of this having occurred before the closure. [3] [6] The Collinsville property developed as a famous merino stud, and upon Collins' death, The Advertiser described his family firm as "among the best studmasters in Australia". [7]

In 2014, the Collinsville pastoral holding was sold following a period in receivership, marking a change in ownership after nearly two decades under the Handbury family. [8]

The historic Collinsville Homestead Complex and the Piltimittiappa Homestead are both listed on the South Australian Heritage Register. [9] [10]

Much of the Caroona Creek Conservation Park lies within Collinsville. [1] The park was proclaimed in 2010 under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 (SA). [11]

Land use

Collinsville is located within South Australia's Mid North region, which is characterized by large scale grain cropping and livestock grazing as dominant land uses. [12]
