Wilmington is a town in the Mid North region of South Australia. The town is located in the District Council of Mount Remarkable local government area,
305 ks (190 mi) north of the state capital, Adelaide. At the 2006 census, Wilmington had a population of 220.

Originally named "Beautiful Valley", Wilmington is a farming community, known for sheep, wheat and barley,
but more recently the temperature conditions and rainfall have contributed to the increasing popularity of the planting of olive groves.

Wilmington is a popular place to stay due to its proximity to the tourist areas of the Flinders Ranges, most notably Wilpena Pound. It was established as a stop over route
for grain and wool being delivered by horse and cart from Port Augusta on its way to Adelaide.
The historic Wilmington Coaching Stables on Fourth Street survive and are listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.

Our impression was that although this was a pretty area, this town hadn't fared as well as Orroroo where we had lunch.
We just stopped for a drink before driving the last leg of the daily jaunt.
