Koonalda Homestead, nestled in the heart of the Nullarbor Plain, offers a unique glimpse into Australia's pastoral history. Established in the mid-20th century, this former sheep station and fuel stop now serves as a free camping site for travelers. The homestead, constructed from railway sleepers, includes a main house, shearer's hut, and a shearing shed. Nearby, visitors can explore a 'car graveyard' featuring an assortment of old vehicles left behind in the plains. The area is also home to diverse wildlife, including the rare Naretha Bluebonnet parrot. Accessed via a 16 km dirt road off the Eyre Highway, Koonalda Homestead provides a serene and historical stopover for those traversing the Nullarbor.
