Tungkillo is a small rural town in South Australia, located approximately 5 km south of Mount Pleasant, 60 km northeast of Adelaide. With a population of around 360 residents, this peaceful township sits at an altitude of 391m in the Adelaide Hills region. The name derives from "tainkila," an indigenous Peramangk term meaning "ghost moth grubs".

Originally established around mining activities in the 1840s, Tungkillo today serves as a quiet rural community offering a gateway to the Adelaide Hills, Barossa Valley, and Murraylands regions.
