Worlds End is a locality 18 km southeast of Burra in South Australia. It also includes the area formerly known as Lapford.[1]
Worlds End once had a school and post office but these are now closed, the school closing in 1944 due to a lack of teachers available.[2] The Wesleyan Methodist church building was opened in 1889 and closed in 1975. It was used as a school for part of its history.[3]
The locality of Worlds End includes the Mimbara Conservation Park.[4]
