Bookabie is a town and locality in the Australian state of South Australia located on the state’s west coast overlooking the Great Australian Bight about 648 kilometres (403 miles) north-west of the state capital of Adelaide and about 103 kilometres (64 miles) west of the town centre of Ceduna.[1][5]
The name was first used for a town located in the Hundred of Magarey which was surveyed in July 1890 and officially named by Governor Kintore on 27 August 1891.[1][3] The name was recorded by the journalist, Daisy Bates, as being derived from an Aboriginal word meaning “bad water” which was used by local aboriginals for a waterhole near the town. Boundaries for the locality including the town were created on 23 October 2003 with some additional “unincorporated land” being added on 26 April 2013.[10][1]
The locality of Bookabie consists of land associated with a section of coastline overlooking the Great Australian Bight including the eastern side of Fowlers Bay including the bay’s eastern headland.[1] The Eyre Highway passes through the locality in an east-west direction.[1] As of 2012, the majority land use within the locality was agriculture while the land adjoining the coastline in the south being zoned for conservation.[11]
The 2016 Australian census which was conducted in August 2016 reports that the localities of Bookabie and Penong shared a population of 289 people.[2][1]
^For the 2016 census, the 'State Suburb of Penong' consisted of the localities of Bookabie and Penong.[2][1]
