Booborowie is a settlement in South Australia. Booborowie is located 200 km (124 mi) north of Adelaide. At the 2011 census, the Booborowie district had a population of 355.[1]
Being a farming community, the chief products produced are wool, wheat and canola. The town is named after the nearby Booborowie Waterhole, a small round shaped and usually dry waterhole about 1 km (0.6 mi) north west of the town,[2] the "owie" signifying "waterhole" in the language of the indigenous Ngadjuri people, as in Minlacowie, Terowie and Yarcowie. The spelling "Booboorowie" was common in the 19th century.[3]
A feature of the area is the "Camel Hump", a drystone wall which runs over 30 kilometres (19 mi) from Booborowie to Farrell Flat.[4]
