Wallaroo Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

About Wallaroo

The name Wallaroo comes from the Indigenous Australian Narungga word 'Wadlu Waru' meaning wallaby urine. The early British colonials tried to copy this word by calling it Walla Waroo, however they found this too big to stamp on the wool bales, so they shortened it to Wallaroo. Wallaroo has a deep sea port, at which the Viterra grain terminal is located and ships dock to fill up with grain. When there's no ship in port, the jetty is a favourite location for fishing. Wallaroo is also home to the Spencer Gulf Prawn fleet, and has a multi-million dollar marina -Copper Cove Marina.
