Donovans is a town located on the Glenelg River in South Australia, Australia. It is in the Hundred of Caroline and the County of Grey.
The area was originally known as Donovans Landing, and was owned by Thomas John Donovan. The area was subdivided in 1947. Thomas John Donovan shot the Tantanoola Tiger, a 'phantom cat' (which actually turned out to be more like a wolf), which is now preserved at the Tantanoola Hotel in Tantanoola.
Donovans is located within the federal Division of Barker, the state electoral district of Mount Gambier and the local government area of the District Council of Grant.[3][4][5]
