Wirrabara is a town and a locality in South Australia. Wirrabara is located in the Southern Flinders Ranges in the Mid North of South Australia, along the Rocky River. The Horrocks Highway passes through the town. At the 2016 census, the locality had a population of 403 of which 230 lived in its town centre.A timber milling industry was established in Wirrabara during the early 1850s. The town was surveyed in 1874. In 1877 the first government forest nursery in Australia was planted in the nearby Wirrabara forest. The town's name is a corruption of the Aboriginal name Wirrabirra which means gum forest and running water. The Wilmington railway line was extended north from Gladstone and Laura through Wirrabara and Booleroo Centre to Wilmington in the 1910s after the locals had been pleading with the government to build it for many years.The historic Copper Mine Chimney, Wirrabara on Main North Road, a remnant of the former Charlton mine, is listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.

Wirrabarra Forest. South Australia.

Filmed by externally mounted Go Pro in September 2014 we drive through the forest only a few months after the Bangor bushfire. The fire claimed around 90% of the forest. The video starts at the picnic area and then we drive around to the nursery which was still closed to the public after the fire destroyed most of it. We then travel back past the picnic area and turn onto Charcoal road, along this road we drive through the only part of the forest that was saved.
