Mindarie is a small town in the Murray Mallee of South Australia between Karoonda and Loxton. The town was gazetted in 1912. The name Mindarie is believed to originate from the Dieri Aboriginal language, and possibly means "festival to invoke peace". Mindarie was a stop on the Barmera railway line which opened in 1912. Mindarie is no longer a stop on what is now the Loxton railway line. Mindarie school was founded in 1916, initially being taught in the town institute hall. The school received its own building in 1929. The Mindarie school has been replaced by East Murray Area School〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=30 June 2014 )〕 which is located about 10km northwest of Mindarie. It educates about 50 students from Reception to Year 12 in an isolated location.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=East Murray Area School, Mindarie )〕 Mindarie is home to the Murray Zircon heavy mineral sands mine.〔(Mines & Developing Projects / Approved Mines / Mindarie )〕 Together with nearby Halidon, it hosts the Mindarie-Halidon Races in September each year, which is known as the ''Melbourne Cup of the Mallee''.〔(Mindarie - Halidon )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mindarie, South Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
