Overview

Poonindie is a small township on the Eyre Peninsula, just north of Port Lincoln, set within the historic Country of the Nauo People and the modern Barngarla territorial borders. The community is anchored by St Matthew’s Anglican Church, built in 1854–55 and still active, and retains several heritage‑listed mission sites that speak to its 19th‑century origins. A modest Aboriginal self‑managed community, Akenta, operates nearby, adding cultural depth to the suburb’s quiet, close‑knit atmosphere.

Residents enjoy essential amenities such as the Poonindie Community Learning Centre, a government primary school within walking distance, and easy access to the River Tod for recreation. The former mission lands were subdivided after 1894, creating a mix of private homes and the Anglican‑owned church precinct, while proximity to Port Lincoln provides convenient road links to broader services, shops and health facilities.
