Galga is a settlement in the northern Murray Mallee region of South Australia.[1] The town of Galga was surveyed in 1915[2] after the Waikerie railway line from Karoonda to Waikerie was opened in 1914. The line was shortend to Galga in 1990, and closed completely in 1994. There is a small bulk grain silo at Galga, but it is no longer regularly used.[3] Galga has an active Country Fire Service brigade with one fire truck.[4]
