Yunta is a small town on the Barrier Highway in South Australia that services both the local area and travellers passing through. It lies west of Broken Hill and east of Peterborough. Established in 1887, Yunta was a busy railway town on the Adelaide to Silverton line, and is today a small service hub for travellers and surrounding properties. Boasting a rich history in mining, railways and agriculture, Yunta offers an alternate route to Arkaroola and the Flinders Ranges. Facilities include a hotel with meals and accommodation, two roadhouses (one with caravan sites), Post Office, Rural Transaction Centre offering Internet access, two petrolstations and an airstrip.A rest area with public toilets is located opposite the hotel. The town supports emergency services and a primary school. The main annual event is the Yunta Picnic Races and Gymkhana held mid- May.
