Moorak is a southern suburb of Mount Gambier - a city in South Australia.
The name Moorak may be a native word for "Mountain", but not from the local tribe, according to Doctor Browne who was an early landowner.[7]
Moorak is located within the federal division of Barker, the state electoral district of Mount Gambier and the local government area of the District Council of Grant.[5][4][2] It is also part of Mount Gambier’s urban sprawl.
