Hundred of Mobilong
The Hundred of Mobilong is a cadastral unit of hundred on the west bank of the Murray River in South Australia and centred on Murray Bridge. One of the ten hundreds of the County of Sturt, it is bounded on the east entirely by the Murray River. It was created in 1860 by Governor Richard MacDonnell from a portion of the former Hundred of the Murray, which covered lands beside the Murray River for more than 300 kilometres (190 mi) of its course from mouth to Waikerie. It was named after an aboriginal name for the swamplands in the vicinity on the west bank of the Murray.
