About Kapinnie
Kapinnie is a small locality on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia, situated approximately 25 kilometres west of Cummins and about 70 kilometres south of Port Lincoln. With a population of around 42 residents spread across 183 square kilometres of largely flat agricultural land, it is a quiet farming community on the southern Eyre Peninsula. The locality sits at 41 metres above sea level and was historically served by the Mount Hope railway line, which has since closed.
The economy of Kapinnie centres on broadacre grain farming and sheep grazing, with the fertile soils of the southern Eyre Peninsula supporting productive cereal crops. Port Lincoln, approximately 70 kilometres to the north, serves as the major regional centre providing services, healthcare, and retail for the area. The surrounding landscape is typical of the Eyre Peninsula — wide open farmland under expansive skies, with the coast of Spencer Gulf accessible within a short drive.
Kapinnie falls under postcode 5632 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Flinders electorate.
