Cooke Plains is a settlement in South Australia.[4] It is adjacent to the Dukes Highway on the Adelaide–Melbourne railway about halfway between Tailem Bend and Coomandook, however trains no longer stop there. The town has several businesses and a Soldier's Memorial Hall (emblazoned with the possessive "Cooke's Plains" in the stonework).[5]
Cooke Plains township was originally a private subdivision, named after the pastoralists James and Archie Cooke.[6] Cooke Plains boundaries now also include the former government town of Bedford which was surveyed in August 1871 and declared ceased to exist on 28 April 1960.[7]
