It lies at the junction of the Stuart Highway to Alice Springs and the road to Woomera, Roxby Downs and Andamooka . It is 480 km from Adelaide. There is an iconic roadhouse, named "Spud's Roadhouse", which sells fuel and general shop items and meals and has accommodation.[4] At the {{CensusAU|2016}}, Pimba had a population of 36.[5] HistoryPimba was originally established as a construction camp for the transcontinental railway in the early 20th century and was retained as a railway siding. It is reported as being surveyed as a township during the 1960s and was gazetted as a locality in August 2004 under the Geographical Names Act 1991 with creation of boundaries along with the retention of the “long established name.”[8][3][6] Great Southern Rail's Indian Pacific (running between Sydney and Perth) and The Ghan (running between Adelaide, Alice Springs and Darwin, trains still pass Pimba Siding but do not stop; both trains pass the town twice a week in each direction. Pimba is located within the federal division of Grey, the state electoral district of Giles and the unincorporated area of South Australia.[7][8][3] As of 2016, the community within Pimba received municipal services from a South Australian agency, the Outback Communities Authority.[9] References1. ^1 {{cite web|title=Postcode for Pimba, South Australia |url=http://www.postcodes-australia.com/areas/sa/country+south+australia/pimba |publisher=postcodes-australia.com |date= |accessdate=19 May 2016}} {{OACDT}}{{SouthAustralia-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Monthly climate statistics: Summary statistics WOOMERA AERODROME(nearest station) |url= http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/cw_016001.shtml |publisher=Commonwealth of Australia , Bureau of Meteorology |accessdate=19 May 2016}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=Search result for "Pimba (Locality Bounded)" (Record no SA0055107) with the following layers selected - "Suburbs and Localities" |url=http://maps.sa.gov.au/plb/# |work=Property Location Browser|publisher=Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure |date= |accessdate=19 May 2016}} 4. ^Fairfax Media, "Walkabout: Woomera".
