Kielpa is a town and locality on Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. [1] It is midway between Rudall and Darke Peak on the Eyre Peninsula Railway. [1]
Kielpa once had a school and a post office, however neither remains. The bulk grain silos by the railway line are still in use for barley. [5] 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, [6] 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. [7]
