**Overland Corner** is a locality in the Australian state of [South Australia](/source/South_Australia) located in the state's east about 181 kilometres (112 mi) north-east of the state capital of [Adelaide](/source/Adelaide_city_centre) and about 30 kilometres (19 mi) west of the municipal seat in [Berri](/source/Berri,_South_Australia).[2][1]

It is located on the [Murray River](/source/Murray_River) in the [Riverland](/source/Riverland) area of [South Australia](/source/South_Australia), near [Barmera](/source/Barmera,_South_Australia) and [Cobdogla](/source/Cobdogla,_South_Australia). The area had traditionally been used as an aboriginal camping ground and was then used by drovers taking stock from New South Wales to Adelaide.[5][6]

When the [New South Wales gold rush](/source/New_South_Wales_gold_rush) began in 1851, Overland Corner developed as a point where timber was supplied to fuel paddle steamers taking prospectors up the Murray River. A small police post was established in Overland Corner in 1855, built by [Edward Bate Scott](/source/Edward_Bate_Scott). It closed in 1894. A school was opened and remained open until at least 1904.[5]

The historic [Overland Corner Hotel](/source/Overland_Corner_Hotel) was built in 1859.[7] It closed in 1897 but still stands, reopened in 1965, at the centre of what is now the [National Trust of South Australia](/source/National_Trust_of_South_Australia)'s [Overland Corner Reserve](/source/Overland_Corner_Reserve).[8][9] It is listed on the [South Australian Heritage Register](/source/South_Australian_Heritage_Register).[10]

Boundaries were created on 12 August 1999 for the "long established name" which included the former *Overland Corner Shack Site* and the former *Lock 3 Shack Site*. On 26 April 2013, "unincorporated land" was added to the locality.[2]

Pooginook is located within the federal division of [Barker](/source/Division_of_Barker), the state electoral district of [Chaffey](/source/Electoral_district_of_Chaffey) and the local government areas of the [Berri Barmera Council](/source/Berri_Barmera_Council) and the [Pastoral Unincorporated Area](/source/Pastoral_Unincorporated_Area).[4][2][3]
