Barunga Gap is a locality in South Australia about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) south west of Snowtown. Barunga Gap was named in reference to the co-located pass between the Barunga Range to the north and Hummock Range to the south. The word 'Barunga' derives from an indigenous term meaning "gap in the range". See Barunga Range § Etymology
Barunga Gap was a station between Bute and Snowtown on the Kadina-Brinkworth railway line from 1879 until it closed in 1993.
The Hummocks or Hummock Range is a range of hills in the southern Quartzites and quartzitic sandstones of the ABC Range Formation extending north from the eastern edge of Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. It is traversed by the Copper Coast Highway immediately west of where it passes around the northern end of Gulf St Vincent. The Augusta Highway passes to the east of the Hummocks. The Hummock Range includes the settlements of South Hummocks and Kulpara. Towards the range's northern end it continues as the Barunga Range north of Barunga Gap, approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) south west of Snowtown.
The Hummocks is a primary source of catchment for Lake Bumbunga near Lochiel.
