Footnotes[2]

Mangalo is a locality on Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. It has a Memorial Hall, CFS and bulk grain silos but has never had a railway line to service them. The name is believed to be derived from an Aboriginal word for sand.[2]

Kielpa was proposed as the junction for a branch railway line to Campoona and Mangalo, and the railway was authorised by parliament to be built in 1916,[3] however it was never constructed, and by 1929, the Public Works Committee determined that wheat could be more efficiently transported by motor lorry than by building this line.[4] In 1920, one of the reasons not to proceed with building this railway was that it would be redundant to a railway linking Murat Bay to Cowell.[5] However this railway was never built either.

The locality of Mangalo comprises the Hundred of Mangalo and Hundred of Heggaton. It includes the Heggaton Conservation Park.[2]
