Witchelina is a locality in South Australia located about 32 kilometres (20 mi) to the north-west of the town of Leigh Creek and about 487 kilometres (303 mi) north of the Adelaide city centre.[6] The locality was established on 26 April 2013 in respect to “the long established local name.” Its name is derived from the former pastoral lease of the same name.[1] Witchelina is located within the federal Division of Grey, the state electoral district of Stuart, the unincorporated area of South Australia and the state’s Far North region.[3][4][5][7] The land use within Witchelina is concerned with the use of the former pastoral lease as a private protected area also known as Witchelina which has fully occupied its extent as of 2010.[6][8]
