Mundulla is a town in eastern South Australia. The town is located in the Tatiara District Council local government area, 278 kilometres (173 mi) south east of the state capital, Adelaide. The name of the town is derived from the Aboriginal word mantala meaning "place of thunder", referring to a rumbling sound made when trampling on the earth as a result of the many caves in the area. The Council enquired about the spelling in 1965 and the Postmaster General proposed to change it to Mundalla in 1972, but this was not approved by the Geographical Names Board.
