Paruna is a town in eastern South Australia. The town is located on the Browns Well Highway, where it crosses the former Barmera railway line, east of the state capital, Adelaide. Purana is an aboriginal word meaning "stopping place".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/manning/pn/p/p3.htm#paruna )〕 The Barmera railway line from Adelaide was opened to Paruna on on 1 May 1913 and a further 11km to Meribah within the week. It was later extended north to Paringa then across the Paringa bridge to Renmark and Barmera, but has now been closed and removed. Paruna School operated between 1917 and 1965, and Paruna North School between 1925 and 1941.〔 Brown's Well District Area School closed in 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=teachweb )〕 The effects of prolonged drought and the movement of population to larger centres has led to the closure of a number of other facilities over recent years, including the general store and the golf club.〔(【引用サイトリンク】date=2008-05-06 ).〕 Paruna was the seat of the District Council of Brown's Well until a merger that created the District Council of Loxton Waikerie in 1997. ==Gallery== File:ParunaCouncilChambers.JPG|Former Brown's Well District Council chambers File:ParunaBrownsWellDistrictAreaSchool.JPG|Former Brown's Well District area school File:ParunaGeneralStore.JPG|General store, no longer operating File:ParunaChurch2.JPG|A church in Paruna 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paruna, South Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
