Boinka

Boinka is a rural locality on the Ouyen Highway and railway line from Ouyen to Pinnaroo, South Australia. It is situated in the Mallee region, north-west Victoria, in a band of settled country flanked on the north and south by the Murray-Sunset and Big Desert National Parks. Boinka is 70 km west of Ouyen. It is thought that the name is derived from an Aboriginal word describing a beetle.
