Farina

Farina, formerly known as Farina Town and before that Government Gums, is an abandoned town in the far north of South Australia. Farina was founded in March 1878 and although it was first thought the area would be good for growing wheat and barley, the normal rainfall proved to be nowhere near enough.

Several silver and copper mines were opened in the surrounding area, but from its peak population of 600 in the late 19th century, the town gradually died and it has not been inhabited since 1967.
