Jabuk, South Australia

Jabuk, South Australia

Jabuk (coord|35|23|S|140|04|E|type:city_region:AU-SA) is a former township situated 10 km west of Geranium on the Pinnaroo railway line and the Mallee Highway.

Jabuk appears to be named after the nearby Marmon Jabuk Range, but the origin of that name is unclear. It could be named from an Afghan word by a camelleer, or from a local Aboriginal word.

There is also a War Memorial, institute, football oval and tennis courts.

Churches

The Epiphany Lutheran Church, the foundation stone being laid on the 7th of February 1960 has long been closed. There is also a Baptist church which is no longer in use.
