Winulta was a town on northern Yorke Peninsula around 10 km from Clinton on the Clinton-Maitland road, and was first settled for farming around 1876. The earliest farmers were William Short, Thomas Kenny and John Sharrad.[4]

The nearby "Hundred of Tiparra School" opened in 1884, was renamed "Winulta School" in 1891 and closed in 1950.[5]
