Mount Hope is a small town on the Flinders Highway on the west coast of Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. It was the terminus of a branch of the Eyre Peninsula Railway from Yeelanna from 1914 until but the line was closed and dismantled in 1966.[1] The town was surveyed in 1916, and proposed to be named Mount Woakwine, but no action was taken to call it that.[2]
Mount Hope was discovered by Edward John Eyre in 1839.[3] The school opened in 1911 and closed in 1974.[3] In 1912, it had an undenominational Sunday School run by the same teacher as taught in the school for the rest of the week.[4]
