KALANGADOO
Kalangadoo is a very small cross roads
town, not that far from Mount Gambier, Millicent and Penola.
Kalangadoo is in the heart of redgum country. The area was originally
proclaimed as Kalangadoo East in 1891, and the name changed to
Kalangadoo in 1940. The town consists of a general store, a general
merchant, a pub and a disused railway station. Pine Forestry is the
main local industry.
The Kalangadoo hotel is
one of only four remaining businesses in the town is breathing a sigh
of relief after the shrinking town’s hotel landlord assured locals the
pub would stay open, despite its manager of five years vacating the
business last week after a long-term financial struggle.
Kalangadoo has a
memorial to the 1983 Ash Wednesday Bush Fires.
The Kalangadoo War
Memorial is acknowledged at the cemetery on the eastern edge of the
town.
Kalangadoo still has
three practicing denominations.   
If traveling nearby a
trip to the hotel for refreshment would be appreciated.
