Koonalda Homestead — Local services in Nullarbor

If you luv your history, this place is well worth seeing, it has been a ' bucket list' thing for me for many years, i luv historical places, especially old sheep & cattle stations, also i luv to photograph interesting old car wrecks, of which Koonalda homestead has many. It can be difficult to find, and the gravel road pretty rugged, but take your time, and you will be fine. 99Km from Nullabor roadhouse, turn right into Nullabor National Park, Koonalda homestead is 19 km in off the hwy.

There are wombat burrows around as well, which, for someone from WA, is...

I was totally crazy choosing this place with tent. Never do this like me. Dingo and emu , they were wandering around the campsite.

And 1:30Am When I was a sleeping , I woke up because I heard the sound small animal scratching my tent Jesus christ, I was so scared. Never ever try this crazy thing like me. There isnt any facility which can help you as well inc water

But It was good place to look around on the bored way takes around 20min...
